Soft, silky, textured. Darker than expected, but elegant as all get out. Slight old world funk on the nose, cranberries and warmed butter. Tasty.

Always a nice Pinot, with good purity of red fruit and a bit of earthy forest floor holding it down. Well judged oak. Seems higher than the 13.9% alc declared, but doesn't hurt the balance or enjoyability

Bright Sonoma Coast acidity, beautiful red fruit with just a touch of savory goodness.

2016 vintage. Savory red fruits with a supple texture and a nice finish. Outstanding QPR. Bravo Failla.

Was kind of hard to tell the specifics here - cherry and spice

Damn fine juice. So much so, even the youngest, at 20 (and having been served to her delight) said ‘wow Dad this is really good! Do we have more of this at home?’ Time to start locking up the cellar!
