Failla 2009 Keefer Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Keefer Ranch
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Failla / Russian River Valley

Failla has been working with the fruit from this coveted vineyard for a long time, and has figured it out better than anyone. How they take basic Russian River Valley cherry, raspberry and cola flavors and uplift the wine into the extraordinarily exotic is inexplicable. But they do. An amazingly complex, compelling young Pinot Noir. Drink now–2019, at least.
