The Wine
La Bomba represents to us the best expression of what the 2018 vintage had to offer. This wine is deep and profound with complex dark fruit, fine tannins and gorgeous texture. This wine, as its name suggests, explodes with flavor derived from six of the best parcels on our estate planted by our founder, Master Sommelier Larry Stone.
The Winery
Lingua Franca is a partnership of Master Sommelier Larry Stone, a native of the Pacific Northwest; Dominique Lafon, an iconic producer of Burgundy; and David Honig, a successful attorney. Thomas Savre is the winemaker, the head of his class in Dijon, who has extensive experience in Burgundy, including a stage at DRC and Domaine Dujac, before joining Dominique Lafon in Oregon. Lingua Franca is founded on a 66-acre vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills with stony, basaltic soils. Our farming is informed by biodynamic and organic principles.
