Lingua Franca Tongue 'N Cheek 2022 Willamette Valley Red Wine opens with hints of savory spices, roses, and violets, followed by intense notes of anise, clove, cinnamon, and black cherry.

Founded in 2015 by master sommelier Larry Stone and his partners David Honig and the legendary Burgundian winemaker Dominique Lafon, Lingua Franca is an invitation to explore a new horizon of American wine. Inspired by an extraordinary vineyard site in the Eola- Amity Hills of Oregon's Willamette Valley, the estate vineyard has been farmed on low-impact, organic and biodynamic principles- practices that are regenerative to the natural biome. Lingua Franca produces harmonious, elegant wines that showcase tension between the classic fruit of the new world with the vibrant acidity and mineral backbone of the old world.
