Situated in the Eola-Amity Hills, the LS Vineyard was among the most coveted sites in the region when Larry Stone purchased the property in 2012 and planted it to 85% pinot noir and 15% chardonnay. Stone would then form a dream team of sorts, with the addition of consulting winemaker Dominique Lafon â of Domaine des Comte Lafon fame â and estate winemaker Thomas Savre â who cut his teeth at Domaine de la Romanee-Conti, Domaine Dujac, and Maison Nicolas Potel.
Lingua Francaâwhich translates to âhonest tongueââis inspired by a desire for transparency in winemaking and purity in the vineyard, where the site is allowed to speak for itself. Stone and his team dry farm organically with biodynamic practices influencing much of their work. This respect for the land and what it produces is the function of the teamâs stated purpose to create wines of freshness, tension and complexity.

âAn Oregon Meursaultâ
The aroma is complex with layers of lemongrass, honeycomb, citrus, and spice. On the palate, the wine is silky, round and supple, with a long finish. The wine has an open texture and deeper flavor, reflecting the even growing conditions throughout the season. The finish is long and mouthwatering. |

$210 6pack
93pts ⢠Vinous âDeep, shimmering red. A highly aromatic bouquet evokes fresh red fruits, licorice and Asian spices, along with a smoky mineral overtone. Juicy, lithe and focused on the palate, offering appealingly sweet, mineral-tinged raspberry, rose pastille and spicecake flavors that deepen slowly with air. Finishes with harmonious tannins, sharp clarity and strong persistence, leaving cherry and spice notes behind.â â Josh Raynolds |
