Retail $45. We have long been a fan of Failla but since I have been writing about wine, I have not had much contact with the brand as they have a policy of not sending out samples to the likes of me. Too bad as Ehren Jordan is a talented winemaker and I typically love his wines. This “entry-level” Chard is a case in point. Bright lemon meringue in the glass with some green apple and some white pepper. The palate is simply stellar, sure, there is a hint of oak and the creaminess is robust, but this is much closer to a white Burgundy than it is to a traditional Cali “cougar juice.”

Bright, citrusy orange and lemon, clean, good acid, very pleasant especially with food.

A nice crisp Chardonnay Light on the oak and butter but still a bold Chardonnay. Aroma of apricot and a tart apple.

Not nearly as high strung as the Seven Hills. Little taste of chicken stock in there. Maybe the Seven Hills is just kinda messing with it.
