  Strawberry, raspberry, earth, mushroom, and some green/herbal note I can’t quite place on the nose. This all carries to the palate. Quite of bit of acid. Medium+ length on the finish.
  
  This wine is in a great spot right now with secondary coming in but still has a healthy dose of beautiful Pinot fruit.

  Earthy and mushroom on the nose then sweet red fruit, smooth clean finish. Great to enjoy after a long week

  Drank alongside a 2016 Saintsbury Lee Vineyard pinot. The Failla was definitely more expressive in terms of ripe red fruit with cherries, raspberries, red licorice, sweet baking spices and a good amount of sweet oak coming through on the nose. Similar flavors on the palate with juicy, ripe red fruits and oak spice. Medium acid and tannin. Smooth mouthfeel. Tasty pinot but the oak comes through a touch more than I would like.

  Like every failla keefer vintage, this continues to be a clean representation of the keefer fruit. Raspberries, strawberries, mushroom, pomegranate and cola. Wonderful now but plenty of life left to hold at least 5 years. 93+

  Very interesting wine. Cranberry and earth on the nose, followed by some lingering cranberry tartness but more so a big explosion of ripe red fruit. I look forward to exploring the other vintages of this wine.
