2017 Vintage
Special Offering

Many of you have now had the opportunity to taste some of the 2017 vintage wines through our “Raid the Cellar” samplers. 2017 was a very good year. It was as good as the 2009 vintage, except that these wines reflect eight additional years of winegrowing experience.

We are now making them available for purchase through the month of May. Starting in June, the remaining bottles will continue aging in the cellar and wait for a proper release. I must say that the reds are showing surprisingly well now, but the Avenius and Hardscrabble Chardonnays are still somewhat closed down. In any case, 2017 was also a generous vintage, so we have a good supply of all these wines. If now is not the right time for you, fear not, all you need is patience.

2017 Pre-Release

• 2017 Claret | $28

• We will now be able to hold any pre-paid wines. Once Linden reopens, they will be available for pick up any time during tasting room open hours.

We cannot accommodate pickups at this time as we feel an obligation to comply with CDC social distancing guidelines. Believe me we will be very glad to see you at the proper time.

Linden Direct

Linden now ships wine via UPS to the District of Columbia in addition to Virginia. We are offering free shipping and handling during our closure.

We shamelessly remain stubborn Luddites, so you’ll have to call in your order the old-fashioned way: 540-364-1997. Shari is working in her vineyard in the morning but in the office by the phone on weekday afternoons from 12:30 to 5:00. Otherwise please leave a message.

Vineyard Isolation | 2020

The seasons and the vines are not on lockdown. We continue to farm. We cannot receive visitors, but we can write. Daily entries in Hardscrabble Journal and weekly updates sent by email are our only way of keeping you informed.
