I had a post written up about this past weekend's wine club visit to Linden Vineyards but Leah's description is much better. Also, I agree with Leah about the Cabernet Franc. I have been somewhat disappointed in the crop of 2005 Cabernet Francs, i have a couple of bottles that I am aging, hoping they get better (if any VA wineries have an excellent '05 Cabernet Franc that they would like to send me to prove me wrong I am happy to accept ;)).
I will post my review of the Claret:
Wine: 2003 Linden Vineyards Claret
Review: This is a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Cabernet Franc and 12% Petit Verdot. It is a dark wine with aromas of blackberries and mint. It had a slightly tannic taste, but is has mellowed well with age and it was a great pairing with the cheese and sausage served on the patio.
Price: $23
Grade: 90
