May 17, 2020 - Quite a change from first taste in 2016- it has really filled out, amd it’s russian river ness is on full display. Cherry cola sweetness. A pleasant bitterness of cherry pits adds to complexity and while the tannins have resolved into the wine to some degree I wouldn’t say it has come to a harmonious place right now. The core of solid fruit has engrained itself into the structure of the wine but it’s a little disjointed. It is not in any kind of dumb phase as it’s pretty expressive of gun smoke- iron ore cherry plums slightly earthy. Made me wonder where it is in its life. Maybe a wine made to be so ethereal when young won’t find such harmony as it ages- maybe it need 5-8 more years

June 15, 2019 - Lovely wine. Folks who drink Failla will be rewarded by aging it-- just gets better with time. Light ruby. Dried cherries, plum, and gun smoke on the nose. Plum and raspberries on the palate. Low tannins and nice acidity balance. Finish extends as the wine gets air.

January 19, 2018 - Starts of with a tart red note that softens to almost ripe red raspberries and a hint of dark plum with a finish that ends in a rivulet that dries up in to a bed of light small tannins. Enjoyable.
