NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Failla Savoy Vineyard Pinot Noir is an expressive, complex and elegant example of a classic California Pinot Noir.The wine boasts a deep garnet color in the glass, with aromas of blackberry, currant, and dried herbs, along with subtle hints of toasty oak and earthy minerality. On the palate, the wine is full and velvety, with flavors of black cherry, raspberry and cocoa, enlivened by bright acidity and balanced tannins that lead to a long, lingering finish. Enjoy this exquisite Pinot Noir now or cellar it for years to come.

ORIGINS
Winery: Failla
Region: North Coast California
The North Coast of California boasts some of the most renowned vineyards and wineries in the world. Located in the northern part of the state, the North Coast is home to the Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Mendocino County, all of which are recognised for their exceptional wines.
The North Coast of California has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The region was first planted with vines by Spanish missionaries, who planted Mission grapes in the area. In the late 1800s, Italian immigrants began to settle in the region, bringing with them their own grape varieties and winemaking techniques. By the early 1900s, the North Coast had become a major wine-producing region, with many of the wineries still in operation today.CUSTOMER RATING
