Region: Anderson Valley, California

Vintage: 2021

Composition: 100% Pinot Noir

History: While the history of Failla (pronounced FAY-LA) is short, it is not without its complexities – our first vintage release was as Failla-Jordan in 1998.  That year, Failla’s first release of Alban Vineyard Viognier (Edna Valley) and Que Syrah Syrah (Sonoma Coast) coincided with planting the first blocks at our Estate Vineyard in Cazadero.  The first Estate releases would be several years away.

Tasting Notes:

“Black fruit, leather, gravel, incense, cloves and mocha all saturate the palate. This ample, full-bodied Pinot has a ton to offer. There is a lot of wine here. This is an especially somber, big Anderson Valley wine.” – Antonio Galloni
