This bottle showed everything that I remember when I first tasted it at Failla. Very enjoyable. -

November 29, 2020 - No formal notes, but this was a lovely pinot from Failla that was purchased at their Silverado Trail location. This wine is proof of what a California wine can deliver if one is patient. Thankfully, I have a few of the '05s left
