Fall Line Winery, Exhibition 2012, Yakima Valley, Washington

Tasting Note: A Washington-state red blend that pleases with structure, body and depth of flavor.

Deep-intensity ruby in color, this wine has a pronounced, aromatic nose of violet, blackberry, black plum, raspberry and vanilla baking spice.

On the palate, the dry, full-bodied red blend delivers ripe fruit flavors suggested on the nose supported by plush, medium-plus tannin.

There is midpalate complexity and structure which completes with a long finish.

A red blend to repeat.

Bottle Note: 28% Merlot. 26% Cabernet Franc. 21% Petit Verdot. 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. 10% Tempranillo.
