Liquid Farm makes big guys salivate at blind tasting

This small winery in the Santa Rita Hills is the brain child of Jeff and Nikki Nelson.  Their wine maker is Brandon Sparks-Gillis (the “man” behind the Dragonette success).  Last week I conducted a blind tasting where Liquid Farm showed that it is not a fly-by-night brand.  The line-up consisted out of the following amazing, highly-rated and high-profile Chardonnays: Peter Michael Belle Cote (94 Pt Parker), Carte Blanche, Morlet (94 Pt Parker), Kongsgaard (95 Pt Parker), Pierre-Yves Colin Chassagne Montrachet (94 Pt Parker), Forman (94 Pt Parker), Pahlmeyer (93 Pt Parker), Littorai (96 Pt. Parker) and of course Liquid Farms!  This little guy made the group salivate, as everyone said “Wow, this little gem reminds us of a Premier Cru Chablis!” (at a fraction the cost)

Only 300 cases of this newcomer were produced.  This Chablis—style Chardonnay highlights the unique salinity that comes from the ancient soils of the Santa Rita Hills.  Sourced from the great Zotovich (Brewer-Clifton, Diatom, Paul Lato), Kessler-Haak & Rita’s Crown vineyards this wine (named in honor of the chalky white hills of Chablis and diatomaceous earth of Sta. Rita Hills) offers a gorgeous nose of perfumed peaches and nectarines.  Medium to full in body, this wine is crisp in texture and depth, with very expressive aromas and flavors on both nose and palate.  Hints of lemon curd, pear, fresh citrus and a touch of tamarind.  The minerality is not overpowering, but clean and seductive!  You think expensive French, but get a well-priced Californian instead!  This 300 case production is of incredible value and will sell out quick!
