Linville Falls Winery Cabernet Sauvignon The Falls

Decent can sauv. Has very crisp front notes with a smooth finish. Would recommend that with a good Italian meal.

One-half hour decant. I've enjoyed this wine more in the past than I did tonight. A bit too "tangy" for my taste. The fruit was more hidden than before.

Smooth, full bodied cabernet

This is a fantastic Washington red. A little too much fruit/alcohol sweetness for the cassoulet that we ordered, but I enjoyed the remaining post-meal glass very much. This is a red meat wine.

P&P. Enjoyable fruit/spice/mineral combo. Really nothing negative to report. Good QPR.

Shows the ample ripeness of the 2009 vintage, but doesn't have the underlying structure of other wines. This may partly be the winemaking too, this is my first 'Fall Line' bottle of anything. There is structure to be sure, but it is not as pronounced as with most other serious wines of this vintage. It sure tastes great though, with good balance. This probably deserves 91 points. Not a long term ager but should do well for 3 - 5 …

A decent entry level wine, dark ruby red. Aroma of plum and black currant, quite a fruity nose. It is jammy on palate, with straight black currant, pretty approachable with a sweet core and soft tannins. The finishing is not impressing. The wine suitable for beginners who just started to drink wine, easy daily drinking style.
