The 2016 White Hill Chardonnay from Liquid Farm is simply outstanding. It comes from five different vineyard across the Sta. Rita Hills (Bentrock 28%, Kessler-Hawk 21%, Clos Pepe 20%, La Rinconada 18%, and Spear, 13%). As this slowly begins to unwind it delivers gorgeous aromas and flavors of ripe citrus fruits, floral blossoms, honey, crushed slate, clementine and flinty minerals. This is well balanced and symmetrical with remarkable purity of fruit. Everything melds together through the mouth watering finish. This wine is flat-out delicious today, and should continue to develop beautifully in the bottle over the next decade.
