2017 Lingua Franca 'Avni' Pinot Noir Willamette Valley

(91 Points  --  Wine Advocate)

Pale to medium ruby, the 2017 Pinot Noir Avni has a nose of warm cranberries, red currants and blackberries with accents of cinnamon, dried leaves, citrus peel and potpourri. The light to medium-bodied palate is bright and crunchy with a good interplay of ripe fruit, earth, amaro and spice character, finely framed and finishing long, fresh and bright.
