WineSaint
Dense and tightly coiled, showing the raw power of dry-farmed coastal fruit. Stone, smoke and white flowers weave through a palate that's all structure and tension right now. The oak program. Concrete, puncheon and barrique. Builds texture while preserving that essential mineral core. Needs five years minimum to show its true character.

→Failla works cool Sonoma Coast sites with a focus on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, producing wines that favor restraint and site expression over weight. Single-vineyard bottlings anchor the range alongside a small production Trousseau.
