This Failla Chardonnay 2016 has aromas of ripe yellow apples, honey, and a subtle hint of ginger. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and creamy, with flavors of juicy pears, lemon zest, and subtle notes of baking spice. The finish is elegant and long, with a hint of white pepper. Overall, this wine is well-balanced and a great expression of the Chardonnay grape.

Ogr
Well-crafted Sonoma Chard with a smooth finish, its light yellow cast is enhanced by suggestions of vanilla and cream. The mouthfeel is highlighted by a citrus fruit expression, with a medium dry mouthfeel that enhances the fruit's brightness. The seamlessness is well-established, with the fruit coming in clean and the tanginess providing a vibrant finish. A comforting and bracing wine, compatible for everyday consumption.
Varna
Chard with a distinctly regional character, this wine is a solid effort, but lacks the nuance and richness that one might expect from a Chard from the same region. The oak is well-integrated, but the lasting impression feels somewhat one-dimensional. Despite this, the wine is well-made and should appeal to fans of the style. I would recommend it to those looking for a reliable, if unremarkable, Chard.
Margel
The fruit is carefully selected and pressed into a combination of French oak and stainless steel, resulting in a seamless blend of notes and textures. The wine's naturally cool tone is enhanced by the use of native yeasts for primary fermentation, and malolactic fermentation is completed naturally. The wine rests sur-lie for 9 months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered, allowing its subtle nuances to emerge.

Failla Chardonnay is praised for its smooth, creamy texture and balanced flavors of citrus, apple, and pear, often complemented by subtle oak and buttery notes. While some appreciate its elegance and complexity, others find it lacking in depth and nuance. The wine is versatile, pairing well with various dishes, and is suitable for everyday enjoyment. Its vibrant finish and harmonious blend make it a favorite for many.
