750mL | 12.9% | 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Franc, and 4% Petit Verdot Just sixty miles west from D.C., our friends over at Linden Vineyards are releasing absolute bangers year after year. The 2020 claret has a ripe nose of black currant and blackberry with notes of dark cocoa and cedar. On the palate, dark fruits burst through with a refined and harmonious texture. Dried thyme and red fruits complete the finish on a high note with lingering tannins. Drink this now, or wait a couple of years! Winemaker Jim Law and his family purchased 76 acres of a long-abandoned apple orchard in 1983. They planted their first eight acres in 1985 and released their first commercial vintages in 1987, with Law and his team at the forefront of Virginia winemaking.
