點擊次數(shù)：3675

The 2007 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast's medium ruby color is followed by crisp aromas of pomegranates and tart cherries, an elegant earthiness, and a medium-bodied, fresh finish. Drink it over the next 3-5 years. Given proprietor Ehren Jordan's experience working in France, it is not surprising that his wines possess French-like acid profiles as well as an unmistakable minerality. Jordan continues to fashion some brilliant white wines, including purchased fruit from John Alban's vineyard in Edna Valley. There are six Pinot Noir cuvees produced at Failla, with the total production now reaching 4,000 cases. Ehren Jordan's undeniable strength is demonstrated by his touch with Syrah.Tel.

Intense and concentrated, with ripe, vibrant black cherry and wild raspberry fruit that's pure and focused, well-structured and firmly tannic. A very true expression of Sonoma Coast Pinot. Drink now through 2014. 500 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Sonoma / Sonoma Coast Select to Add

Not very attractive now, a heavy, full-bodied wine that hasn’t come together. Could almost be Grenache. Yet it’s enormously complex, and the flavors veer toward ripe blackberries, cherries, blueberries, cranberries, orange peel, anise, cola and sweet, smoky new oak. The toughness should benefit from time in the bottle. Give it a good 4–6 years.——S.H.(12/31/2009)—— 91

A nice, crisp and bone-dry Pinot that shows plenty of elegant class. Satisfies for its silky texture and flavors of cherries, raspberries, orange zest, cola and mint. Drink now.——S.H.(8/1/2009)—— 89
