Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2014

(14.1% alcohol): Bright lemon-yellow color. Expressive aromas of white peach, citrus fruit, flowers and chalk. Juicy and spicy but a bit hard-edged, with a citrus peel quality currently dominating the middle palate. Finishes classically dry and firm. Will this soften with time in bottle?

Failla's 2012 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast) is wonderfully tense and vibrant, especially within the context of the vintage. Lemon oil and floral notes jump from the glass in a graceful, chiseled Chardonnay long on class. The Chardonnay is done in equal parts stainless steel, barrel and concrete egg.
