Liquid Farm 2013 White Hills Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills)

Country: US / White Hills
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Liquid Farm / Sta. Rita Hills

This homage to Chablis blends fruit from Bentrock (49%), Rita’s Crown (22%), Zotovich (14%), Kessler-Haak (8%), Clos Pepe (3%), Esperanza (3%) and Radian (1%) vineyards, delivering tight aromas of yellow flowers and grilled peach. It dances across the tongue with playful, squeezed lemon acidity, showing crushed white rocks and baking soda minerality, and finishing its high tones on a grapefruit pith bitterness.
