Failla Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2022

Failla Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2022 is a vivid, New World expression of Pinot Noir that balances generous fruit with the cool-climate finesse Sonoma Coast is known for. Crafted by Ehren Jordan, it reflects both instinct and deep hands-on experience, producing a wine that is polished, expressive, and unmistakably characterful.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the brightness and purity you’d expect from Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. The nose opens with blackberry, wild raspberry, herbs, red roses, and a touch of fresh pastry, while the palate brings out blue and red berries, cherry liqueur, oregano, sage, a hint of white pepper, and mint. The texture is smooth and seamless, with no hard edges, leading to a long, soft finish. While already showing beautifully now, it should continue to develop gracefully over the next 6–7 years, gaining added nuance and complexity.

Production
Sourced from Sonoma Coast vineyards shaped by a cool maritime climate, the wine benefits from slow ripening and naturally fresh acidity. Failla is known for working with carefully selected sites and fruit that capture both intensity and balance, and the 2022 vintage follows that approach with a focus on purity and precision in the cellar.

Food & Serving
This Pinot Noir is versatile enough for duck, roast chicken, salmon, mushroom dishes, or simply a well-prepared vegetarian meal. Serve it slightly cool, around 14–16°C, and decant briefly if you want the aromatics to open up more quickly, though it can also be enjoyed straight from the bottle.

Producer
Failla Wines was founded in 1998 by Ehren Jordan and his wife Anne-Marie, after years of hands-on experience in the wine trade and cellars in California and Rhône. Based in Sonoma, the estate has built a strong reputation for expressive Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Zinfandel, with Jordan widely respected for his uncompromising, site-driven style and willingness to let the wines speak for themselves.
