Failla
Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir


Drank 10/28/18
Fairly typical nose for a cooler climate california pinot. Strawberry, red cherry and just a touch of earth. Palate similar to the nose, with medium tannins and high acidity. Some black fruits on the finish. Not overy jammy like many california pinots, though the acidity may scare some off.

Will come together well in time. It's just young and disjointed at the moment with lots of Cali fruit and tannin on top of it's more restrained backbone. Should be a stunner in this vintage

Mar 2nd, 2017Words escape me. Weightless. Ethereal. So flavorful. Juicy blackberries, earthy berry brambles, smooth tannins. Best Pinot I've tasted this year.

Fairly intense nose of bramble, spice, dark cherry. Crisp, lively iron, dried cherry, spice flavors. The "village" wine is often my favorite when young. Good shit

Really nice pinot. Nose like chateauneuf; earthy bramble. Strawberry, tart cherry and maybe pomegranate. Mild acid finish. Burgundian comparisons are appropriate, and quality very good.
Das hat geschmacht!
