Failla - Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Sonoma Coast 2022 (750ml)

95 points Decanter
"A brooding character is the throughline in the Failla house style, and the Occidental Ridge Pinot Noir shows dark, smoky aromas of frankincense, singed violets and earthen elements of sous bois, rose hips and salty sea air. The palate is textured and spiced with spicy blood orange, smoky soy, hoisin sauces, black tea, and an intense minerality that lifts the finish."

"The 2022 Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard is another magical wine from this site. Deep, pliant and resonant to the core, the 2022 is immediately alluring. Succulent dark red cherry, plum, spice, coffee, licorice, lavender and menthol fill out the layers effortlessly. The Occidental Ridge is, quite simply, a drop-dead gorgeous beauty."
