Region: Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, 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:

“Very sophisticated, this is loaded with cooking spice accents to its plum tart, dark cherry, and fig paste flavors, supported by rich acidity. The supple finish features slate and forest floor accents, with fresh tannins.” – Wine Spectator.
