Note di degustazione
One of my favorites in the lineup was the 2016 Pinot Noir Eola Springs Vineyard, which comes from a west facing vineyard in the Eola-Amity Hills AVA. Loaded with notions of wild strawberries, blueberries, rose petals, and flower garden-like characteristics, it hits the palate with a medium-bodied, seamless, yet fresh and vibrant texture. The tannin quality is first-rate, as is the purity of fruit. I’d happily drink a bottle today, yet I suspect it will cruise in the cellar on its balance. Readers looking for a serious lineup of single vineyard Pinot Noirs and Chardonnay that have a distinctly Burgundian vibe need to check out these releases from Ehren Jordan and Savanna Wright. Failla owns prime terroirs on the Sonoma Coast, as well as has access to some of the best vineyards in the region. While these aren’t for those craving big, powerful wines, they have plenty of intensity as well as singular profiles. In addition to the Sonoma releases, Jordan’s Oregon releases and a few Rhône variety wines are also included in this report.

The 2016 Pinot Noir Eola Springs Vineyard is another stellar wine from Failla. Supple and radiant in the glass, with tremendous purity of fruit, the Eola Springs is a spherical Pinot with no hard edges, soft contours and exceptional balance. This warm microclimate yields a forward, racy wine with tons of immediacy and raciness. I loved it.
