  Bigger than typical Failla wine at 14.1% on the label.
  
  A bit oaky with heat poking through. Black cherry and Black berry and dark rose petal... Relatively full bodied, with some savoury notes.
  
  30% whole cluster.

  Pale ruby
  
  Nose: cranberry, vanilla, light cola notes. Faint projection
  
  Mouth: smooth, slightly sweet cranberry and red currant mingle with a zesty lemon peel note ahead of a spritzy finish of baking spice, crushed stone and light tannins.
  
  Overall, this is fun, spicy, and still down to earth and lip smacking. Stays engaging throughout. Alcohol on the high end however..

  A pretty big and boozy Pinot for Willamette. Lots of heat and sun in 2016, but 14.1% alcohol is on the high end for my tastes. Would like more subtlety and finesse.

  Yum. Dark cherry, smooth with a capital S. I’ll buy this again.
