Fall Line Winery

 

Fall Line Winery offers the best value-priced line-up of Washington reds on the market. New Seattle-based winery Fall Line blew us away - owner and winemaker Tim Sorenson brought his wines by the store yesterday and we started work on this email immediately.

Sorenson cut his teeth in the cellars of Cadence winery, where he learned to craft Bordeaux blends from some of Washington's best vineyards. Who isn't looking for lush, structured, and refined reds for $30?

Fall Line Artz Vineyard Red Mountain Wine 06 received 90+ points, Wine Advocate,
August 2008:"Purple colored with aromas of paine grillé, pencil lead, spice box, 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 Red Blend 05 received 90 points from Wine Advocate (Parker) 7/08. They said: "The 2005 Horse Heaven Hills is 39% Merlot, 33% Cabernet Franc, and 28% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from two vineyards. Purple in color, it offers notes of pain grille, scorched earth, black currant, and blackberry. This leads to a smooth-textured wine with ample ripe fruit, spicy flavors, good concentration and an elegant personality. It has a bit more stuffing than the Red Mountain bottling. "

Ambassador of Wine says: "The 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Fall Line, 47% Boushey Vineyard, 32% Artz Vineyard, and 21% Windy Ridge Vineyard, is their finest effort. This Cab out-performs most of the Cabs twice the price in the state (WA). Three times now I have tried it and been floored each time. On the nose, aroma, med+ intensity, ripe black fruit that is very juicy and expressive, some black olive, tomato leaf, bell pepper, moderate amount of oak , and not any earth to be detected.

On the palate, dry, med+ intensity, rocking the seemless very well integrated oak , depth, complexity, balance, and a moderately long finish. This is a fantastic wine for the price, and I applaud this effort.

39% merlot, 33% cabernet franc, and 28% cabernet sauvignon. Entirely from Aldercreek/Windy Ridge Vineyards. Aged 18 months in French oak, 39% new. Bottled April 29, 2007. 430 cases produced.

Violet and lavender notes, herb, earth, black plum, boysenberry, blueberry, cherry, black spice, and toasty caramel. Earthy, fine- grained tannins and bright acidity.
