Last tasted in 2014, it has evolved very nicely. This vintage was lightly affected by some botrytis which added great texture. Seems quite Chassagne-Montrachet-like. Nose and Palate have just a little oakiness, a touch of butter/cream (not from Malo as it was blocked), melon, lemon, nice acidity and depth of flavor. The nose is gorgeous with florals like honeysuckle and with some air a little butterscotch. Really delicious, if any criticism I would have liked the finish to be longer. By no means old tasting and stored well will likely last another 5 years at least. (737 views) | | | Tasted by Jimswinecellar on 12/31/2019: Still fresh and bright! (476 views) | | | Tasted by TC16 on 5/22/2017 & rated 92 points: Drank awesomely. Very lean and great acidity. Lemon peel, crushed oyster, a bit of warming spice at the end. Drinks sorta like a good Chablis in a colder year, but with a bit more oak and roundedness. (916 views) | | | Tasted by oldwines on 4/1/2014 & rated 90 points: Light to medium yellow color. Nose of pineapple, green apple and citrus. Nice medium rich mouthfeel. Flavors reflect the nose with good acidity and minerality. Chablis-like. Nicely done and still very lively. (2444 views) | | | Tasted by TC16 on 10/20/2013: Reminded me of a Chablis, perhaps a lower-level premier cru. Had nice salinity with creamy lemon notes.

Smoke and cheese on the nose with citrus fruit.
Good minerality.
Guessed linden chard. (2325 views) | | | Tasted by manonthemoon on 2/13/2011 & rated 88 points: More open than the previous times, really showing some nice chablis qualitites of sea shell on the nose and palate. The nose was the highlight. (2500 views) | | | Tasted by Rob and Meg on 2/10/2011 & rated 91 points: Decant Time - 0
This is another outstanding effort from Linden. The nose is complex and bounding, with intertwining elements of green apple, white flowers, wet stone, and grass. On the palate the wine explodes with combinations of subtle tropical fruit, peaches, and pure apple flavors. The midpalate is weighty and gripping, showing stoney minerality and some interesting spice. This wine finishes long with citrus/apple core components and fantastic, focused acidity. The wine is silky, boasting excellent structure/transitions and a decadent (yet not cloying) mouth feel. Overall this wine is a value at $26, showcasing a true purity of fruit and seamless structure.

Pale gold in color.
Nose of a little tropical fruit, then citrus, with lemon with a little cream.
Palate of has an initial note of pineapple, that quickly turns to lemon, white grapefruit, a little cream, hazelnut shows through with air and lots of minerality going on toward the end.
The finish was above average in length and the acidity makes this a great chablis style food wine.
Hold or drink. 50+5+10+16+7 (929 views) | | | Tasted by manonthemoon on 10/11/2010 & rated 88 points: Took to a b-day dinner, no formal notes, and bad glasses. Nose was lemon, cream, little apple core maybe a little nuttieness. Palate was lemon cream, a little vanilla, some apple core. Decent finish and good balance, especially with food. (937 views) |

Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Virginia Virginia Wines (Virginia Wineries Association) |
