Stems and spice dominate this tightly wound expression from Peay Vineyard. The whole cluster influence is pronounced, creating a savory, mineral-driven profile that overshadows the dark fruit core. Firm tannins add serious structure, but the wine feels austere and coiled at this stage. Time may allow the fruit to emerge and balance the formidable stemmy character.

Failla

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.
