Linden Vineyards Wabi Sabi

Wabi Sabi is a Japanese aesthetic that reveres the “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete”. This reflects our philosophy behind the wine. It is a blend that is made without a plan. Decisions are made throughout elevage (aging) as we become familiar with the personality of each lot. This is unusual for traditional, conservative, methodical Linden Vineyards.

This is a big textured wine with a very generous mouth feel and a touch of sweetness. There is ample acidity and tannin length to carry its weight. Aromas and flavors include bee’s wax, apple skins, nutmeg and pear liqueur.
