Made the mistake of popping and pouring. This needed air! The last glass was by far the best. nose of cassis, smoke, dark fruit palate is full, rich, interesting, with decent medium plus length Good QPR. Needs another few years to reach peak. Would buy again.

(Fall Line Winery Artz Red Blend Red Mountain) An engaging nose with smoke, mineral, and currant. Tight, tart, and intensely focused with fruit on the palate. A pleasing balance of acid and tannins, although the latter are a bit drying at times. Give three years. 39% Cabernet Franc, 36% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon. 490 cases produced.

Good wine and terrific QPR, but it does have a lot of heat. Not for the faint of heart.

Terrific wine. Graphite, cassis, cedar, baking spices. Perfectly balanced tannins, acidity, and alcohol. Ripe without being overdone. Medium-long finish.
