Failla’s Jurassic Park Chenin Blanc comes from own-rooted vines planted in the 1980s on limestone-rich soils in Santa Ynez Valley. The vineyard’s name reflects its ancient marine origins, ideal for Chenin’s precision and minerality. Failla farms organically and picks early for freshness.

Fermented with native yeasts and aged in neutral oak and stainless steel, the 2022 vintage is textured yet bright. A rare California Chenin from a historic site, crafted with restraint and clarity.

If you're looking for a laid back and lovely winery in Napa run by an awesome family that makes killer Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, look no further than Failla. Their basic philosophy is to source great fruit from cooler climate vineyards, preferably close to the ocean, to enhance the bright fruit acidity as well as minerality of their wines. What you get is a a beautifully balanced wine that integrates fruit seamlessly into acidity.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

"The 2022 Chenin Blanc Jurassic Park Vineyard emerges from one of the top sites in Santa Barbara. The pedigree here is immediately apparent. Floral and effusive, with tons of energy, the 2022 dazzles from start to finish. I admire its energy and strong varietal character. A whole range of savory and mineral notes lend nuance. Gorgeous." -Antonio Galloni

"Palest gold. Aromas of quince, pear and white flowers. Stony flavours of Asian pear and pomelo pith reveal hints of membrillo and lemon oil as stony minerality crackles along with excellent acidity. Lightly saline, with a silky texture that finishes faintly chalky with a touch of grip."
