點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3453

Lithe, focused and juicy, with boysenberry and currant fruit layered with mint and floral character, coming together seamlessly against refined tannins on the finish. Best from 2017 through 2020.

Aromas of blackberry and raspberry liqueur meld with high-toned herbs and barrel spices on this blend of Artz, Boushey and Red Willow vineyards. The flavors are rich and pack a hefty punch, with grainy tannins backing it all up.

A lively, pure barrel sample, the 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is 100% Cabernet that comes from 60% Boushey Vineyard, 33% Artz Vineyard and 7% Red Willow Vineyard. Aged for 18 months in 33% new French oak, it has pretty plum, flowers and herbal qualities as well as a medium-bodied, supple and softly fruited profile on the palate. Fresh, up-front and impressively balanced, it should be ready to go on release and have upwards of a decade or total longevity. Drink now-2021. www.falllinewinery.com Tel 206 768-9463

A blend of three vineyards and three AVAs, this is a bit broader and fruity and seems less overtly chocolaty than the vineyard-designates from Fall Line. Pretty red fruit flavors are quite accessible, and the barrels lend a spicy top note.——P.G.(9/1/2009)—— 89
