Very linear and primary with loads of bright red cherry and strawberry jam fruit. I don’t think this has the acidity to age for a long time, so drink up in the next three years. This is definitely a crowd pleaser and built for the new world palate. Not my preferred style, but I can see why many love it.

Napa Trip 2017; 7/23/2017-7/24/2017 (Calistoga, CA): Also coming from Russian River Valley, this wine has rounder/richer fruit flavors, more bing cherry, just a more ripe fruit profile compared to the Keefer Ranch. Good for a sip, but not my preferred style.

Even better 2 years later. One of the best Failla PNR's I've had. Dark, rich and long on the finish.
