The 2013 'White Hill' Chardonnay from Liquid Farm is an impressive effort. The fruit was sourced from 7 different vineyards across the Santa Rita Hills AVA. (49% Bentrock, 22% Rita's Crown, 14% Zotovich, 8% Kesslerhaak, 3% Clos Pepe, 3% Rancho Esperanza, and 1% Radian). The stunning nose soars from the glass in a magnificent combination of golden delicious apples, asian pears, spring flowers and a lovely base of flinty mineral notes. On the palate the wine is pure, richly textured, with a great core of fruit, laser-like focus and complexity. It has impressive energy and tension on the elegant and balanced finish. This should be capable of evolving for a decade. (Best 2015-2024) - May, 2015 (MD)
