Failla Syrah Hudson Vineyard 2016

Dark fruit, chocolate and sweet spice build with impressive density. The whole-cluster fermentation provides firm tannins, though Hudson's distinctive mineral edge gets lost in the vintage's generous fruit weight. Shows immediate appeal but should gain complexity through 2026.

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.
