Liquid Farm - This young lable established by Southern California Natives Nikki and Jeff Nelson was intended to show the precision of Chardonnay from the Santa Rita Hills.

Jancis Robinson California Wine Summit - Liquid Farm

Liquid Farm, White Hill Chardonnay 2011 Sta Rita Hills 17 Drink 2013-2018 Small new winery, mix of sites and soils. Sandy and shale soils. Very low pHs. Transverse hills (ie cooling effect from the ocean). Barrel fermented in older wood. Gentle honeyed note on the nose but very tight on the palate. Lovely tension and great freshness. Tight and lemony and zesty. Riper white-fleshed fruit and pears. Tight but not lean. Zesty and long.

....and here is what I wrote the following week as the results: Results update from last weekend's Top Chardonnay Challenge: 22 people took a shot at picking out the stunning $44 2010 Liquid Farm in the half-blind lineup against the four big boys ($100-$200 each) and nobody suceeded. Congrat's to Jeff & Nikki for their effort to make such an over-acheiver!
