Pop up Barrel Tasting | Hardscrabble Chardonnay 2022

Our blending decisions are taking a bit longer than usual. The red wines from Vintage 2022 are quite unique. When proceeding with blending trials we find that each variety pushes any potential blend in a totally different direction. We know that there is a great wine in the works, but we have yet to find it. This week we will go back to tasting individual components and try to reset a direction.

Because we have delayed making a final blending decision, we thought it perfect timing to hold Linden’s first “Pop-Up” tasting. Through the year when there is something of interest either in the cellar or in the vineyard, we will hold an impromptu tour and/or tasting.

This Sunday we’ll share the diverse personalities and styles of Vintage 2022 with a “Pop -Up” barrel tasting. Linden’s winemaker, Jonathan Weber, will guide tasters through the labyrinthine stacks of 2022 Hardscrabble barrels, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot.

Sunday, February 12 at 11:00 or 12:30

Space in the cellar is tight, so reservation spots are limited to only one or two guests.

$60 per person (upstairs tasting included)
