Beautiful baking spices romance the nose. Lightweight with pleasant acidity and bight young soft rosey cherries.

Very good OR Pinot. Well integrated mix of fruit and barrel flavors, blackberries, black cherry. Ripe and focused tannins. Delicious.

Very beautiful, tense, high-toned and floral. Highly aromatic and expressive already.

Beautifully juicy raspberries and cranberries, wet leaves, herbs, white pepper, (no cola!). Showcases finesse and delicacy. Finishes tart with zippy acidity.

I’m absolutely loving the 2016 vintage in Willamette, which appears to be the inaugural vintage for Failla in an appellation blend. I don’t know anything about the assemblage but this is high-quality fruit. Beautifully crafted Pinot Noir showing generous fruit and structure but managing to stay light on its feet. Violets, black cherries, smoke, sandalwood, gravel. Classic savory character. These wines continue to impress me with their intensity and finesse.

Drank for mom’s 80th birthday. Really good balance of fruit and earthiness. Very smooth and good finish length. Blueberry, raspberry, cherry.
