  June 2, 2022 - 2011 Chardonnay: Liquid Farm Chardonnay Golden Slope: 72% Rita’s Crown, 17% Clos Pepe, 11% Zotovich Vineyards: 340 cases: Popped and tasted and figured it would die quickly if I decanted, could have helped first glass though. Color in the Zalto’s was lovely nice golden hues showing the story of age. Muted rustic chardonnay focused on stone fruits; particularly apple and mature white peach. Typically this wine is among the richest styling, which has helped this age gracefully. Medium plus weight, really a palate coating wine with silky mouthfeel. There is wet stone and minerality going into a medium plus finish. Not super lingering and I think that is just a bit of missing liveliness. Still very lovely wine with food and on its own, a fun drink.
  .
  I think the oldest Liquid Farms I have gotten my hands on in recent years. Thinking back , I still really remember loving the 2013s, but this is very good. Just not the vibrancy left that the 2013 had, a bit more rustic. You would never be tired of those 13 wines when enjoyed.

  March 1, 2021 - Drank from Magnum. This bottle was still showing beautifully. Great minerality and roundness. I am not sure how much longer this will go but still in a prime drinking window

  September 25, 2020 - Still going strong at age 9 (and still showing oak, for that matter), with good balance on vibrant acidity. Notes of sweet apple flesh and saline elements.

  November 24, 2018 - One of the best LF bottles we’ve opened. Perfectly balanced rich and crisp. Too bad it’s my last bottle.
