The wine is aged in French oak barrels, which imparts a subtle vanilla and spice flavor to the wine, adding depth and complexity. With its bold yet refined taste, Failla Wines Occidental Ridge Pinot Noir is a perfect wine to enjoy with a hearty meal or on its own.

Tasting Notes

Light cherry nose. Juicy, transparent, denser fruit on the palate than expected. Tight, floral finish
