ALLOCATION WINE SELECTIONS
New for fall 2021
2017 FÁINNE
PINOT NOIR
Barrel Select
Fáinne, ring or full circle in Irish, honors the farming and merchant heritage of the Fairsing Vineyard owners.
Meticulously crafted from select barrels encompassing Fairsing’s finest fruit, this wine is a faceted expression of the estate.
TASTING NOTES
Rich garnet color with classic Fairsing tones of lavender, violet, and ocean spray.
Plummy dark fruit flavors marry with a cola verve on the palate.
Framed by refined tannins and a dense immersive texture, this wine reverberates on the back palate and elongates to an expressive finish.
Layered and concentrated, this bottling benefits from an intentional cooperage regimen with emphasis on toasted and spicier barrels.
Distinguished by its finesse and structure, this wine is bound for beautiful development in the cellar.

2017 SULLIVAN
PINOT NOIR

TASTING NOTES
Lingering ripe red fruit, juicy freshness with focused palate and generous finish.
93 Rating – Vinous
92 Points – JamesSuckling.com
“The 2017 Pinot Noir Sullivan has a medium ruby color and an inviting nose of rose petal, licorice, crushed cranberries, red cherry jam, tangerine peel and an undercurrent of fragrant earth. Light to medium-bodied, it’s delicate but concentrated with a firm, grainy frame and great freshness, finishing long and perfumed. Yum! 470 cases produced.” – Erin Brooks, April 2020

2017 KENNEY
PINOT NOIR
This compilation is named for Mike McNally’s mother Claire Kenney McNally – a vivacious Irish lass with bright blue eyes.
Memorable and food-friendly, this wine honors Claire’s wit, equanimity, culinary prowess, and love of family gatherings.
TASTING NOTES
Lingering ripe red fruit, juicy freshness with focused palate and generous finish.
“The best of Fairsing’s 2017 Pinots, at least for the moment, this brings penetrating raspberry fruit, highlights of orange peel and acidity that convey an astringent minerality. Aging in one-quarter new French oak lengthens the finish, adding notes of ash, tobacco and sweet spice”. October 2019

2017 FAIRSING
CHARDONNAY
Complexity, tension, and focus marks this barrel-fermented estate Chardonnay with orchard bloom scents, supple fruit flavors, and balanced finish
TASTING NOTES
Ripe orchard fruits and flinty nuances mingle with smoothly juicy texture. Plush and focused with a charming twist on the finish.
“The 2017 Fairsing Vineyard Chardonnay opens with a bouquet of Meyer lemon cream, butterscotch and lighter earthy tones. The palate expresses a good degree of tension with bright tree fruit flavors and a soft, generous texture. The long, cream and mineral-driven finish lingers. Enjoy this over the next decade. Drink 2019-2029.”
