Colleague's farewell party wine 1.

Sonorous, charming, refreshing Roussanne originated from Anapa, Black Sea foothills.

Dense lemony yellow, greenish tint.
Delicate bouquet is woven of lemon, flowers (linden, osmanthus), tarragon, delicate mineral and spicy hint, pear, white peach, nectarine. 
Elegant palate of light-plus body, refreshing acidity. Scented by pineapple, pomelo, white currant, chalk, nectarine.
Very fresh lingering finish of citrus, ginger and ripe white currant.
Gone as apetitif. — 7 years ago

Excellent balance between acidity and sweetness. At the nose candid orange and cider zest, raisins, acacia flowers, almonds, dandelion, chamomile, linden. Long persistent, dried apricot finish, bright acidity, elegant minerality. Uncanny — 8 years ago

I remember 1st time reading the wine note , I 'm confused by all these words such as linden flower ,gooseberry,genet,locust.... Growing up in Asia,I am not familiar with so many fruits or woods I 've never seen in supermarket, I thought a wine note should be able to reduce the complexity of the tasting of wine , not the other way around. I could not find a way to resolve this till I meet this wine. When I taste cask23 , after a sip of of FAY, another sip of S.L.V and sips of some white, I felt like finally I meet the goddess. If FAY is a fair lady, SLV is a leaping stag or elf, Cask 23 is the godness. I could not find a other word to describe this wine characteristics overall , not by naming it after fruits, the complexity, elegancy, as well as amazing glimpse, everything makes her a prefect lady. A real goddess beats Old world wine in 1976 XD💪💃💃🎈👍😄 — 9 years ago

Apparently Linden, VA is the place to grow Chardonnay: it starts like it is going to hit with too much oak...but then it has wild and lingering acidity/ delightful — 9 years ago

Sluttish, sauternish, perilously drinkable Italian dolce spumante. Do i sense some noble rot activity here? Linden tea, honey, light caramel, ripe apples. Surprisingly long finish. Very pleasant. — 10 years ago

There nothing better than a trip to the winery on a crisp fall day! This wine is not sweet, has a very clean taste, and has an edge created by perfect grapes (yes, I got to try the grapes). — 11 years ago

The wine world is changing. Great job from this Virginia winery. Swear it would come from central coast or even napa and Sonoma. Full bodied mouth filling richness. Little oaky but still nicely balanced. Got this little gem from some very god friend on the east coast. Thanks again for enlightening this California palate. — 8 years ago

Tension, purity, verve and filigree come to mind here and can only take the mind to one place for Chardonnay: Chablis. OK so now the mind is set in Chablis with style but then we take a different take on the finish that was crazy long and pure, dry extract on full display here as this hummed along nicely to the finish. Another amazing Chardonnay from Jim Law at Linden. — 8 years ago

2009 - green cantaloupe, honeydew, just ripe white peach, green pineapple, honeycomb, ginger and saffron, linden, saline, rocks, cheese rind, wet wool and so much more. Rich mid palate balanced by mouthwatering acidity and steely, tactile minerality. Yum and then some #pnv15 — 9 years ago

A stunner of a sweet wine, high acids offset 110g RS in this honeyed, orange marmalade and tropical fruited beauty. A touch of an oxidized note adds further complexity. Like a hypothetical Tokaji Aszu meets a Trockenberenauslese Riesling. — 8 years ago

100% Chenin from Chinon. Linden blossom and lanolin nose. Very vibrant on the palate - pear, golden delicious, and great acid. Excellent, lengthy finish. Chenin accounts for only about 4% of the plantings in Chinon. This wine makes me wish that number was far higher. — 9 years ago

Very light in color. Faint aroma of linden trees in bloom and pear. Bracing acidity and some minerality. Tingles through the finish. Makes a clean getaway. 2013 — 9 years ago
