TN’s FROM GALLONI & JOSH RAYNOLDS/VINOUS
note: 2013 Golden Slope & 2013 FOUR not yet released/reviewed
__“These three 2012 Chardonnays from Liquid Farm are among the most impressive Sta. Rita Hills wines I tasted this year.Industry veterans Nikki and Jeff Nelson enlisted the help of Brandon Sparks-Gillis and John Dragonette of Dragonette Cellars to get their project off the ground. The initial production of just four barrels has grown into several hundred cases of top-notch Chardonnay in just a few years. The Liquid Farm Chardonnays are made in a very personal and unique style that combines fruit intensity with vibrant, pulsating minerality. Readers who have an opportunity to taste these wines should not hesitate, as they are magnificent. My sense is that things are just getting started at Liquid Farm.”From Santa Barbara: The Thrill of Discovery (Jul 2014) by Antonio GalloniThe 2012 Chardonnay White Hill is bright, focused and tightly wound. Lemon peel, crushed rocks, pear and smoke jump from the glass as the 2012 shows off its energetic personality. The style is focused and taut, especially with the style of the Sta. Rita Hills. Imagine a Chablis like sense of energy with the depth and radiance of California. If that sounds like an appealing combination, well, it is! the 2012 was done mostly in neutral oak, with some of the wine seeing only stainless steel. - $40.00. Drinking Window: 2014 - 2020 / 92 Points
A drop-dead gorgeous wine, Liquid Farm’s 2012 Chardonnay Golden Slope bursts from the glass with layers of yellow stone fruit and spices supported by beams of minerality. Smoke, slate, chamomile, sage and lightly honeyed notes add complexity on the super-expressive, pulsating finish. The 2012 is positively thrilling today and should continue to drink well for at least another handful of years. The Golden Slope spent 13 months in French oak, 15-20% new. - $50.00. Drinking Window: 2014 - 2020 / 94 Points
The 2012 Chardonnay Four is a selection of the best barrels in the cellar. Rich, deep and explosive, the Four hits the palate with serious intensity. Smoke, slate, dried pear and apricot pit burst from the glass in an exuberant Chardonnay built on compelling tension between fruit, acidity and minerality. This is another head-turning wine from Liquid Farm. The 2012 spent 14 months in French oak barrels, 25% new. - $74.00. Drinking Window: 2014 - 2020 / 94 Points
__“The wines who indeed taste Burgundy-inspired and this winery has quickly moved onto a number of sommeliers’ “A list” as a source for domestic chardonnay.
Nikki and Jeff Nelson have fully settled into their own facility just north of metropolitan Buellton. They recently [in 2013] took on a full-time winemaker, James Sparks, whose brother-in-law Brandon Sparks-Gillis is part of the Dragonette team, whose space the Nelsons formerly used for their own wines. While there’s a pinot noir on the horizon here, the focus is squarely on chardonnay, “made in the style of wines that we like to drink, which means Burgundy”, according to Jeff Nelson. That said, the Nelsons are quick to point out that their goal “isn’t imitation but emulation” and that they’re not trying to suppress “the fruit that makes California, California. It’s more a matter of not letting the fruit get the upper hand and running all over everything else, which means careful growing, harvesting at the right time, and then doing as little as possible from crush to bottling.” __****Josh Raynolds, December 2014____________________________________________________________________________________2013 White Hill / Sta. Rita Hills (10% Stainless) Light yellow-gold. Tangerine, pear skin and a hint of honey on the perfumed nose. Broad and silky on entry, offering pliant orchard and citrus fruit flavors that tighten up on the back half while picking up a touch of bitter quince. Nicely taut for the vintage, finishing with strong thrust and persistent mineral and floral flourishes. — $40.00 / 92 Points
2013 La Hermana / Santa Maria Valley (all neutral oak): Pale gold. Musky pear skin, yellow plum and Meyer lemon on the fragrant nose. Opens up nicely on the palate, offering juicy citrus and orchard fruit flavors braced by bitter quinine and dusty minerals. At once rich and lively, finishing with excellent clarity and a late note of honeysuckle. — $40.00 / 92 Points
AVAILABLE ONLY TO CLUB/SPRING 2015
2013 Bien Bien / Santa Maria Valley (30% new oak): Pale gold. A sexy, highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh pear, tangerine, white flowers, iodine and ginger. Smoky, palate-staining orchard fruit and melon flavors are lifted and sharpened by juicy acidity, picking up anise and sea salt nuances with air. Strikes a suave balance of power and elegance, and shows no excess fat. A spicy note builds on a long, incisive finish that features lingering floral and mineral qualities. — $64.00 / 93 Points
