Bright fruit, reigned in, but beautiful, tannins. Light on it’s feet but not wimpy! Terrior driven west coast Pinot! — 6 years ago
#Failla Placida 2015. Excellent balance for a RRV PN. Nice fruit and aromatics, good acidity. Need to get more. — 7 years ago
Drink ‘em if you got ‘me. After an hour, this one’s not yet flirting with the edge. The nose is sniffable without needing a sip. Fun, indeed to see these can go baby go. Mostly because when a bottle of Chardonnay is purchased in the US, 98% of those buyers think it needs to be consumed before the sun goes down. — 5 years ago
Beautiful - initial acidity that opened up to a complex end note. Tart citrus and leafy herbs. — 5 years ago
A favorite bottle to commemorate some new ink. Always love LF, as this is a chard that definitely grows and progresses as it opens up and warms up in the glass. Beautiful notes of iris, candied pineapple, melon, toasted walnuts, and saline minerality on the nose. Gorgeous texture and purity of fruit.. bruised apple, Meyer lemon, papaya, and chalky minerals. Bright zingy acidity on the backend, but not as lean as something like Ceritas or Failla - a bit more baby fat and textural complexity on this bottle that keeps you coming back for more. A perfect hybrid of styles by Jeff Nelson and co. Paired with a creamy bow tie pasta with dried tomatoes and a spring salad. — 6 years ago
My first 2015 red and really showing some great tension and vibrancy in it's youth. Fresh red berried Anderson Valley fruit. Very reminiscent of the Failla Pinot. Artsy app inspiration from @Roman Sukley — 7 years ago
Paired very nicely with lamb shoulder chops. Less satisfying alone. — 6 years ago
For me it's a cold weather select- with lots of ink and spice on thenose- dark fruit color with purple hues, it's bigger and on the jammy side of Zin, drank with a meal Boeuf Bourguignonne (thanks Steph) picked up at the Failla winter pickup party out in Saint Helena 10/29, great fun With Steph Andrew and Pytko — 8 years ago
