By Sean Sullivan
(Fall Line Winery Red Wine Artz Vineyard Red Mountain) This is the first of three high quality, single vineyard offerings reviewed here from the 2009 vintage from Fall Line Winery, all of which are also extremely well priced. This wine is locked up tightly at present with tar, floral notes, and mineral notes. On the palate, a beautifully restrained, structured wine with light fruit flavors and a firm scaffolding of tannins. This wine will age gracefully in the cellar for many years to come. 41% Cabernet Franc, 35% Merlot, and 24% Cabernet Sauvignon. Aged 18 months in French oak (32% new). 364 cases produced.

Deep Purple color. Cab Franc and Merlot with a bit of Cab Sauvignon. Still a bit tannic and ready to drink. Long, smooth finish. Notes of black fruit.

Nose shows nice fruit and herbalness from the Cab Franc. I like it.
palate, smooth, earthy/herbal (Cab Franc), nice complexity and flavors. This is very well done and quite nice.
Finish is very decent and shows nice complexity.
Overall a very nicely done Bordeaux blend from the Right bank, dominated by Cab Franc.
Would buy again.

Un peu trop sur le tertiaire et le végétal en c emoment mais pourrait surprendre si le côté vert s'estompe.
Feuilles morte, tabac, proivrons et de la terre.
Belle acidité et tannins mordant donc a le potentiel pour revoir dans 5 années.

Earthy, leafy, and very funky upfront, clearly dominated by Cabernet Franc. It took almost two hours in the decanter for this to settle down and start showing some fruit. In addition to the leafiness, there were notes of red currant, spicy raspberry, tart cherry, and chocolate. Plenty of acid and tannin to support another 3-5 years of cellaring. In spite of its Old World style, it just lacks the finesse, depth, and balance to make it great.
