Lingua Franca is the exploration of Oregon with an open mind, focused on picking fruit optimally for freshness, tension and complexity based on the varying conditions of the season and the terroir of individual vineyard blocks which are farmed by organic and regenerative farming principals. The land, the way it’s farmed and the quality of the light on east facing slopes in the Willamette Valley are what shape the wines

Established in 2012, Lingua Franca was founded by Larry Stone, a famous San Francisco Master Sommelier and Dominique Lafon, an iconic producer of Burgundy. Lingua Franca – which translates to “honest tongue” – is inspired by a desire for transparency in winemaking and purity in the vineyard. Larry Stone found exactly this in the extraordinary vineyard site in the Eola-Amity Hills of the Willamette Valley. All work is guided by respect for the environment by following sustainable farming practices.

Tasting Notes:
2021 has a brilliant yellow color with green highlights. The entry is round while the midpalate reveals a backbone of acidity and minerality, with citrus peel, green apple, honeysuckle and river stones. The wine isrichly textured with a long, balanced finish. The round texture given the wine by the low yielding CH548 clone makes this a good match for shellfish dishes with drawn butter or sauces, and seafood pastas, poached or sautéed seafood, gumbos, paella, steamed vegetables with lemon and herbs, and roast lemon chicken. Experimentation is welcome!

Grape Varietal(s):
Chardonnay

Awards & Accolades (Robert Parker/ Wine Spectator/ James Suckling etc):

Top 100 Wines by Wine Spectator (2017)

“The 2021 Chardonnay Estate blossoms nearly smoky, with stone dust and hints of graphite complicating crushed green apples and lime zest. This impresses further with its vividly ripe stone fruits flowing across a silken core, taking on a sensation of liquid rocks as pretty inner florals resonate throughout. It's deceivingly long, seeming to drop off with hints of citrus, followed by a reprise of minerality and lemon oil. It's a gentle giant.” – Antonio Galloni, 93 points

“Aged in 20-30% new oak in 500-liter barrels, the 2021 Chardonnay Estate is a bright straw hue and takes on more depth, with aromas of jasmine, light flint, fresh pear, and lemon curd. Medium-bodied, it offers a delicate balance of pristine fruit with fresh acidity and a focused feel without feeling harsh. It’s delicious right now, but it will continue to improve over the next few years and drink well over the coming 10.” – Jeb Dunnuck, 95 points
