- Formerly known as Failla Jordan. Fallia also produces an Estate Chardonnay that may be labeled as Sonoma Coast. Please ensure your merchant has the wine you are looking for.
  
  Critic tasting note: "Chard fans who are tired of soft, flabby wines will welcome this dry, crisp bottling. The underlying grape flavors offer lime, Meyer lemon, mango and steely minerals, while winemaker bells and whistles bring needed layers of buttered toast and vanilla cream. A beautiful, classy and elegant Chardonnay; production was only 400 cases." - 92/100, Wine Enthusiast
