A tremendous example of a maturing Cabernet based wine from VA, this has plenty in reserve to go another 5 or more years. Plenty of fruit allied with mature tertiary notes wrapped around a fine tannic and vibrant core.

Linden 2006 Hardscrabble Red: This Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine is medium-bodied, supple, and rather streamlined. It offers up a mélange of red berry compote, sun-dried tomatoes, savory herbs, and spice box flavors -- neatly tied together by [Linden’s trademark] well-focused acidity. Rustic yet charming, this is an excellent food wine; especially with earthy dishes. For my friends unfamiliar with the wines of Virginia, this is a producer to put on your radar. Expect well-made, estate-grown red and white wines that are acid-driven as opposed to flavor-driven. Cheers! #Virginia #wine #vawine #winelover #wineblogger #wineconsumer
