Jeb Dunnuck, 95 Points 

"The 2019 Pinot Noir The Plow is ripe with raspberry liqueur, cedar, and moss-covered earth. The palate has a wonderfully energetic and persistent drive and fills with grenadine, iron-rich earth, and candied rose. This is another impressive wine from the team at Lingua Franca. Drink 2025-2035." 

Vinous, 95 Points 

"Deep magenta. Expansive red and dark berry and floral aromas are complemented by hints of star anise, sassafras and cola. Sappy, seamless and fleshy on the palate, offering intense black raspberry, cherry cola, candied lavender and mocha flavors underscored by a vein of smoky minerality. Seductive in character, finishing with powerful thrust and supple tannins that meld smoothly with the sappy, persistent fruit." 

Wine Spectator, 94 Points 

"A wine with presence and detail, boasting an ethereal structure that glides along with notes of raspberry, crushed stone, tea leaf and dusky spice. Builds tension and richness as this finishes with refined tannins. Drink now through 2030." 

James Suckling, 92 Points 

"Aromas of red and black cherry, baked strawberry and rose water. Medium-to full-bodied with slightly tight tannins. Brooding on the palate, with ground spice and dark fruit. Well structured. Best after 2025."
