Region: Russian River 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:

The beautiful ruby ​​red color invites the scent of dark cherries, red plums, raspberries, tobacco, spices, and light touches of earth. The fruity taste almost floats and is slightly warmed without being jammy. Just unashamedly drinkable and with plenty of good years ahead.
