Vine to Bottle

Contemplative TimFall Line produces each wine to showcase the exceptional qualities of its fruit and the place (or places) where it is grown. This requires working closely with growers to 'get it right' on the vine, then handling the wines with minimal manipulation in the winery.

Fall Line ages its wines exclusively in premium-quality French oak barrels, showing restraint in the proportion of new wood. The result is well-structured wines that exhibit balance, grace, and depth of character.

Vineyards

Fall Line Winery purchases fruit under long-term arrangements with a select group of exceptional vineyards and growers in eastern Washington State. (This is the half of the state that lies on the 'dry side' of the Cascade mountain range, which runs north-south from British Columbia to southern Oregon.)

A typical day-trip to the vineyards begins around 5:30 a.m. Coffee in tow, it's into car, over the Cascades, through Cle Elum and Ellensburg, up the Manastash Ridge and over the Umtanum Ridge, and into Yakima Valley.
