Bright citrus oil and crushed oyster shell lead to a palate of impressive precision. The concrete egg fermentation shows in the wine's mineral backbone and taut energy. Clean-lined and focused, with that distinctive reductive edge adding complexity rather than masking the fruit.

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.
