| Community Tasting Notes (average 88.1 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by mkmast on 12/23/2013: Badly flawed. Bitter and undrinkable. Confirmed with three other tasters. (1457 views) | | | Tasted by UMhemePA on 10/1/2013 & rated 86 points: golden color, nose of petrol and apricot, dark dried fruits on palate, silky mouth feel. Better than previous bottles, but not by much. (1600 views) | | | Tasted by UMhemePA on 5/23/2013: both bottles were flawed, oxidized, undrinkable. (1685 views) | | | Tasted by nospeel on 11/13/2012 & rated 87 points: - Light gold color with medium forming legs and aromas of kerosene and pineapple. It's lacking fruit and has flavours of melon and diacetyl (butter) with a light/medium body. Fleshy texture with a short finish. (2144 views) | | | Tasted by mkmast on 7/8/2011 & rated 88 points: An understated wine that would work well with similar food. Very balanced but lacking some of the brighter fruit flavors I prefer. A little short on the finish as well. I wouldn't wait too long on these if you have them. (2586 views) | | | Tasted by trawets01 on 7/2/2011 & rated 90 points: Creamy, tropical fruit with hints of apricots. Showing well now. (1532 views) | | | Tasted by Frank Murray III on 6/26/2010: OC Blind Wine Crew Does Dinner and Italian (Il Barone in Newport Beach, CA): Disappointing. Aromatically, had the cloak of cologne-like smells that was too dominant for me. The texture was heavy and I tasted it once and then dumped it. (2504 views) | | | Tasted by WetRock on 6/26/2010: The OC Blind Wine Crew goes Italian (Il Barone Ristorante, Newport Beach, CA): Pineapple and lemon custard on the nose that seems polluted with some sort of kerosene note. Rich palate with a strong finish, still showing round and with a touch of heat. The odd note this showed was a surprise for me and marred a wine I had much better expectations for after previous go arounds with Failla wines. (2467 views) |
| Failla Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeKeefer Ranch Details on weinlagen-infoUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
