Failla Jordan 2000 Keefer Ranch Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $32
From Green Valley, the coolest part of the appellation, a wine with the most wonderful opening scents of ripe pears and the smoky perfume of oak. Perfectly delicious in the mouth, with pronounced pear flavors and a sleek note of minerality. A touch of lees adds a creamy texture but doesn’t overwhelm. As opulent and lush as this wine is, it’s delicate and elegant…

Failla Jordan 2000 Estate Syrah (Sonoma Coast)
- Editors' Choice
- $48
Ultrarich on the palate, muscular and beautifully structured, with gobs of meaty black cherry, black currant, coffee, tea, leather, earth and herb tones. Ripe tannins frame it, with a long, lush finish.

Failla Jordan 2001 Hirsch Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $48
A big, juicy wine. Opens with young, almost jammy aromas of black cherry and black raspberry highlighted with earthier notes of tobacco. Turns long and persistent on the palate, as the fruity flavors are joined by those of grilled meat and tomato. Firm tannins hold it all together. This young, dense wine seems likely to improve for at least five years.

Failla Jordan 2001 Keefer Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $38
A nice Russian River Pinot from Green Valley, it is marked by berry-earthy flavors, firm tannins and supportive acids, and is very dry. The particular flavors are of cherries with a rich streak of sweet tobacco and herbs. Marked by a bouyancy of texture and a silkiness that glides over the palate, although it finishes quick and may not be an ager.

Failla Jordan 2000 Que Syrah Vineyard (Sonoma Coast)
- $45
Bright spice and raspberry aromas lead off. Rich and viscous on the palate with complex layers of herb, earth and blackberry. Long and bright on the finish.
