By the time I found out this was one of kenny's new wines, it was already gone.
my first taste of my first vintage. 2007 at Dutton-Goldfield. it took some time to come around and give it up, but it was there. The nose of the Failla was a bit funky, but the wine really came through on the palate. maybe the nose is some sonoma coast/coolerish nuance. the sinskey just came off too fruity in this set.
awesome a great true coast vs. rrv representation here with zepaltas wine. couloir is just so awesome, no doubt.

oak expression as a high pitched grain. wild red fruits. a whole grain bread. ripe and full in the mouth. sweet dark red vine fruits. something rather wild in there. some rhubarb. bright high toned acid. new world for sure, NZ or CA.
Open top fermenter, 20-30% whole cluster, 50% new oak, no temp control. '09 is a ripeer vintage and the new oak backs off to 25%
