Failla is a newer discovery of mine as a recommendation of a great Somm Colleague of mine… I am just so impressed by this wine!  With the pedigree of wines Ehren Jordan was producing from CA, he had a vision to bring his wine making techniques to Oregon and boom, what another winning wine under his belt!  Still using all organic farming and slight whole cluster fermentation this wine is a “Smoking Value”. Black Cherries, blackberries and spice all emerge from this layered and beautifully textured Pinot Noir that’s already impossible to resist. It’s just full of spunk yet still says “Hey, I’m from Oregon. Nice to meet you”. Every sip just kept getting better and better as the wine opened up in my glass. Really well-made, I expect it will age quite well given the balance. It was just lovely… And I can’t wait to have it again (tonight 😆)
