Failla Lola Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast 2022 750 ML

The grapes for the Lola bottling are sourced from two cool-climate vineyard sites in emerging growing regions for Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. The first is situated in the eastern portion of the Petaluma Gap in the heart of the windy corridor and the second is a well-known site in Fort Ross Seaview. Once harvested the grapes ferment 30% whole cluster with native yeast. The wine is then aged for 11 months on its lees in 15% new French oak, with the remainder neutral. \n\nFounded in 1998, Failla is a project by winemaker Ehren Jordan that is dedicated to sourcing cool climate fruit from the coastal areas of California and making wine using traditional Burgundian methods. Ehren debuted in the California wine industry in 1994, followed by a sojourn to Cornas. After years of making wines for both Neyers Vineyards and Turley Wine Cellars, Ehren decided to start his own business.\n\nIn 2006, he purchased 10 acres of land on the Silverado Trail in the Napa Valley that included a vintage yellow farm house and stone winery dating back to the 1800s. In addition to renovating the existing facility, the team built a state-of-the-art bi-level wine cave that's nearly 12,000 square foot and features a concrete egg fermentation room and gravity flow equipment.
