Description

While the history of Failla (pronounced FAY-LA) is short, it is not without its complexities - our first vintage release was as Failla-Jordan in 1998.  That year, Failla's first release of Alban Vineyard Viognier (Edna Valley) and Que Syrah Syrah (Sonoma Coast) coincided with planting the first blocks at our Estate Vineyard in Cazadero.  The first Estate releases would be several years away.

Ehren loves to experiment with his favorite varietals, coaxing out their various incarnations from different climates (cool, cooler, and coolest), soil types, and rootstock.  

In 1998 we bought a parcel contiguous to our first purchase from a few years earlier.  In 2002 it was planted with five acres of rootstock before grafting Pinot Noir clones the following year.  Ehren's viticultural training in France greatly influences his farming and winemaking choices. Our eleven acres of Estate vineyards today produce Syrah, Chardonnay, and Pinot Noir that capture the essence of California's coolest regions.
