MORE INFORMATION
Parker's Wine Advocate 92 Points 92 points, Wine Advocate, August 2008: The best new mid-priced Cabernet from Washington. Pure cassis aromas and flavors, mixing with black berries, plums, black cherries, and baking spices. A lingering sweetness on the finish is accented by subtle sage leaf and integrated tannins. The Fall Line 06 is versatile as a sipper or with any hearty meal--it has perfect balance and refinement, but plenty of gushing, yummy fruit. An Avalon Big Reds Club selection and highly recommended. - Avalon Parker's Wine Advocate 90+ Points
Gorgeous and heady scents of baking spice-shaded black berries and blueberries make you want to dive in. There's an explosive core of blueberry and cassis fruit, with rosemary highlights. Sweet anise emerges and carries through the plush finish. Tim did an excellent job taming the burly tannins of Red Mountain, producing a red with near universal appeal. - Avalon Parker's Wine Advocate 89 points, Wine Advocate, August 2008: Voluptuously textured Merlot and Cab Franc serve up fleshy, ripe red and black plums coupled with cherries and dark currants. Mellow tobacco, mineral and earth notes resonate on the finish, giving complexity to the expressive fruit. - Avalon
Fall Line Cabernet Sauvignon 07
$30.95/$27.86
"The nose offers up notes of vanilla bean, coconut, black currants, and blackberry liqueur. Layered and ripe, bordering on opulent, it nicely conceals enough tannin to carry the wine through another 4-5 years of evolution. This concentrated, lengthy effort should attain its peak by 2013 and remain at that level through 2026."
Fall Line Artz Vineyard
Red Blend 06
$30.95/$27.86
90+ points, Wine Advocate, August 2008:
"Purple colored with aromas of paine grillé, pencil lead, spicebox, and black fruits, it is a bit tighter than the 2005. It offers plenty of spicy black fruit flavors, good depth and balance, and a lengthy finish. Give it 2-3 years of additional cellaring and drink it through 2020."

Fall Line Aldercreek Vineyard
Red Wine 06
$30.95/$27.86
"It exhibits an expressive bouquet of cedar, tobacco, clove, cinnamon, allspice, red cherry and blackberry. The tannins are light and the wine has elegance along with very good depth and a pure finish. It merits 2-3 years of additional cellaring and should drink well through 2020."
