2022 Lingua Franca Tongue'n Cheek Pinot Noir 750ml

Experience the playful tension and seductive texture of the 2022 Lingua Franca "Tongue 'n Cheek" Pinot Noir at VS Liquor. Born from a spirited debate over the merits of whole-cluster fermentation, this cuvée—co-created by Master Sommelier Larry Stone and Burgundian icon Dominique Lafon—is a masterclass in the purity of de-stemmed fruit. The vsliquor.com website features this 2022 vintage, which marks a fascinating evolution for the label; it is sourced from two premier volcanic-soil sites, with nearly 92% coming from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and the balance from the Dundee Hills, showcasing a broader map of Oregon's elite terroir.

Whether you are seeking a high-scoring gift for a Pinot Noir lover or a structured, "lion-hearted" red (95 Points, Wine Spectator) to pair with braised pork belly, grilled prawns, or forest mushroom tart, our online purchase system makes ordering effortless. Take advantage of our reliable home delivery service to have this 750ml masterpiece brought directly to your door. Fermented with wild yeasts and aged for 12 months in 25% new French oak, it reveals a heady bouquet of graphite, savory spices, and violets. The palate is sleek and silky, delivering intense notes of dark black cherry, anise, and black tea, all supported by a simmering backbone of mineral-tinged acidity and fine-grained tannins.
