Pinot Noir | 2022 Failla Ferrington Vineyard

2022 Failla Pinot Noir | Anderson Valley, California
Sourced from the historic Ferrington Vineyard in Mendocino’s Anderson Valley, this 2022 Pinot Noir embodies the region’s cool-climate elegance and meticulous craftsmanship. Planted in the 1960s on a sun-drenched alluvial slope near Booneville, the vineyard’s Pommard, 667, and 828 clones contribute layers of complexity to this sought-after varietal.

Crafted using traditional methods, the wine undergoes native fermentation with 30% whole clusters, preserving its vibrant fruit character while adding textural depth. Aged for a year in French oak barrels—20% new—the result is a harmonious balance of spice, herbaceous notes, and ripe red berries. The palate reveals silky tannins and a lingering finish, showcasing both immediate appeal and remarkable aging potential.

Ideal for cellaring or enjoying now with roasted game, herb-crusted meats, or earthy mushroom dishes, this wine delivers sophistication without pretense. Its 14.1% alcohol content ensures approachability while highlighting Anderson Valley’s signature freshness.

For Pinot Noir enthusiasts seeking a wine that marries heritage with modern winemaking precision, Failla’s 2022 vintage is a standout choice. Whether you’re pairing with dinner or collecting bottles for future enjoyment, this limited-release offering promises nuanced flavors and cellar-worthy quality.
