Failla Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2013

Daniel P. Drake

Last night the wine of the evening we opened the 2013 Failla Sonoma Coast Chardonnay from Napa, California. On the nose there is beautiful notes of citrus, lemon, yellow apple, honeydew melon, white peach, vanilla, creme brulee, apricot and good minerality. On the palate there is lemon, melon, white peach, honeysuckle, minerality and crushed gravel. This is a wonderfully medium bodied wine with a rich vibrant mouthfeel and great balance medium + acidity that has a long citrus crushed gravel finish. I am not a big Chardonnay fan but I truly enjoyed this wine from Failla. Let us have a great weekend doing what we love to do, drink wine. Please be safe and continued good health. Nostrovia!

Love Failla wines . Just gd acidity . apples , buttery but in a good way . Very long . Excellent Chardonnay .

Not interesting. No depth. Almost super market stuff

Very "lemony". Lemon peel and lemon juice. Likely due to the high acidity for a California Chardonnay.

I really enjoyed this.

Given my proclivities for Burgundy close to the Beaune this is an exceptionally Californian discovery -both sapid, textural and fragrant. Keen to try more from these folk.

A real sense of style and elegance without being a twiggy wine. Nice work.

Bright citrus, Meyer lemon, tart green apple and then the faintest touch of creamy peach and cotton candy.

From magnum—holding up well after all this time.
