The appellation 2019 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is a great choice for readers looking to understand the more elegant, understated, yet balanced style of this estate. Revealing a ruby hue as well as attractive red and black fruits, salty minerality, and foresty, bouquet garni-like nuances, it's medium-bodied and has a round, supple texture as well as a great finish. As with all these 2019s from Failla, it has good underlying tannins yet a more rounded, soft, approachable style.

Spicy dried raspberry and cherry flavors show hints of dried beef in this firm red, with hints of savoriness midpalate, followed by mushroom broth hints on the finish. Drink now through 2025. 6,000 cases made.
