Linden Late Harvest Vidal Blanc 2014 (375ml)

Style Aromas of exotic spices and crème brûlée that carry to the mid palate. Apricots. Layered and long. Food Pairings Rich, decadent, fatty, and salty dishes; or desserts that feature fruits—especially apricots, peaches, pears or dried fruits. Very ripe triple cream cheeses and sheep cheeses from the Pyrenees and Virginia. Vineyard Hardscrabble Vineyard (100%), Fauquier County, on top of the Blue Ridge at an elevation of 1300 feet on a northeastern slope. Deep, well-drained granitic soils. Own rooted Vidal vines were planted in 1985 with additional plantings in 1998 and 2002. Wine yield was 20hl/H . Vintage Climate is what you plan for and weather is what you get.
