February 22, 2024 - White peaches, caramelized red apple, ripe lemon, and honey held perfectly together by a backbone of racy acid and minerals. Very toasty, incredibly expressive and vibrant with a medium plus body. Absolutely amazed at how well this has held up and I’d easily compare this to a top shelf white burgundy. Outstanding!
February 7, 2024 - Tart apple, lime zest, vanilla, oak, lively acidity, hint of butter, honey sweetness, pear, nectarines. Still drinking fantastic but this is definitely peak. Open any bottles you have left
April 17, 2023 - My first Liquid Farm wine. Impressive! Quite acidic, tart apple, lime, citrus zest, stone fruit (peaches, nectarines), honeyed pear, minerals and some spice. Just enough vanilla and oak to provide contrast. Long, long finish. Fantastic.
June 5, 2021 - Method: in Bordeaux glass in someone's back yard
Look: deep gold / dehydrated pee; medium speed legs
Nose: light butter, ripe browned golden apple, golden raisin, light salinity, honey
Palate: butter, lemon cream, almond, lemon; long finish of bitter herbs and white pepper; dry; full- body; low- tannin, with very round mouthfeel; high- acid that lingers on the palate
Overall thoughts: This was more decadent than I expected, but it had the high acidity to support it. Great wine.
April 13, 2019 - Winebid bottle. Every bit as good as these notes indicate and beyond (although this looks like the first in a few years). Let me assure that it’s still drinking great! Nutty, toasty, mature fruit, supportive acidity, vanillin. Beautiful balanced package. This is rapidly becoming my favorite producer of domestic chardonnay.
November 30, 2015 - Sadly our last bottle of this offering. Opened to pair with homemade crab cakes and carrot leak soup. A richer LF offering, probably a product of a toasty vintage in So Cal. Drink up and enjoy!
March 7, 2014 - I am thrilled and saddened that this is my last bottle of Liquid Farm Golden Slope 2010. Thrilled because it was my introduction to this fantastic producer. Sad because this particular vintage was just so good. Tropical notes with underlying minerality. Just perfect harmony of acidity, great fruit and perfect texture. This wine flat out rocked!
December 20, 2013 - Very good chard. Its been a while since I tasted it, definitely need to revisit if I have the chance.
November 10, 2013 - Liquid Farm Tasting (Chris and Brig's House): Light yellow color. Aromas blasting out of the glass screams huge complexity. Flavors of honey, sweet tree fruit, maybe some residual sugar, spice, apple, and clove. Crazy finish with taste buds firing on all cylinders. This is the prefect holiday dinner wine. It smells like the holidays. Not much of this floating around, in fact, winery owners said they're buying this up on the open market for their personal cellar. How great is that! If you see Nikki on winebid then you'll know.
November 10, 2013 - Tasted alongside the 2011 and 2012 GS cuvees. I found in the 2010 the same 'spicy' note, which to me seems to reflect a consistent expression of terroir from Rita's Crown. This vintage seems more forward to me, shown in the hazelnut and coconut flavors. However, like with all the LF chardonnays, there is acid and cut, through lime and for this cuvee, some notes of lemon, too.
