Linden 2001 Hardscrabble Red (Virginia)
- $32
This Bordeaux blend has a touch of horse and earth on the nose. It shows some of the ripeness possible in Virginia with rich flavors of blueberry, cassis and heavy oak that’s suited to this full-bodied wine. Sweet fruit mellows the smooth tannins, while acidity shows through on the finish.

Linden 2001 Hardscrabble Chardonnay (Virginia)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
85 Linden 2001 Hardscrabble Chardonnay (Virginia); $22. Not afraid of using oak, Linden’s Hardscrabble, named after the site in the Blue Ridge Mountains, has toasty vanilla and popcorn aromas that translate to buttery oak in the mouth. It’s backed by nice tropical fruit, but the wine’s body doesn’t quite size up.

Linden 1999 Glen Manor Red (Virginia)
- $23
This mix of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot begins with slightly cheesy, animal notes, Once they blow off, there is sw2eet boysenberry styled fruit and some richness. The finish is round and broad, but ultimately it’s quite basic, as is the wine. —M.S.

Linden 1999 Hardscrabble Red (Virginia)
- $28
A pungent nose of mint, black cherry and sweet spice kicks things off in good form, followed by cherry, berry and citrus flavors. On the back end there are some toasty notes, and overall it’s friendly warm and well balanced. But there isn’t a whole lot of stuffing, which you might expect for close to $30.
