A Saturday at Linden (Linden Vineyards - Linden, VA): Gorgeous, layered, and exceedingly complex aromas of dried apricots, candied citrus peel, white flowers, poached orchard fruit, and beeswax. The palate is wonderfully concentrated and filled with smokey peaches, tropical fruits, lavender, and honeysuckle. Fresh, lively acidity lifts finishing elements of dried tropical fruits, cinnamon, and ripe tangerine. This is one of the finest Late Harvest Vidal that we have tasted form Linden. Fantastic effort with plenty of life left. Drink or Hold. R&M91

30th Birthday at Palena; 6/2/2011-6/5/2011 (Palena, Washington, DC): N: Lychee, a little funk, and honeysuckle. P: Persimmon, lychee, honeysuckle, little spice and chalk??? F: Long finish and nice mouthfeel Overall this wine was a little outclassed by the HL which made it seem weightier and lacking aciidty that I haven't noticed prior.

Thanksgiving dinner Nags Head. Notes from day 2. Medium gold color. Nose is expressive with lychee, honeysuckle, mango, a little funky zest. Palate of my favorite note Persimmon, carmelized honeysuckle, lychee, funky zest. Long finish that is perfect for desert. Would also reccommend with strong cheeses, especially blue because of the zest. Loved this bottle as it is totally inline with my palate so score reflects that, but will not last as long as the 06 because of less acid. Hold or drink. 50+5+13+18+7

Brett's Epic Birthday Tasting (Palena - Washington, DC): very aromatic, showing honeysuckle and white flowers. not as much acid as i'd like, but the rich apricot and honey flavors are great.

Perfect with Stilton for a light desert. Apricot & honey with a beautiful long finish.

A touch floral, quite sweet and mouth coating, pleasant end to a meal.
