ANTONIO GALLONI 96 POINTS - "Failla remains somewhat under the radar relative to its peers at the very high end in Sonoma, perhaps because the focus is heavily skewed towards farming and making wine rather than marketing. But make no mistake about it, this is about as good as it gets for wines that speak to place, variety and vintage."
"The 2023 Pinot Noir Occidental Ridge Vineyard is one of the deepest, most explosive wines in the range. It captures the very essence of the Sonoma Coast: the ability to deliver fruit intensity at relatively low sugars. Plush and silky, with tremendous concentration, the Occidental Ridge delivers on all fronts. What a wine!"
