Nikki and Jeff Nelson source the fruit for the Golden Slope from Rita's Crown, Bentrock, Clos Pepe, Zotovich, & Kessler-Haak vineyards. The 2012 is a gorgeous showing, with pretty aromas of lime, ginger, cucumber, fennel, crushed almond, green tea, mineral and white floral notes. It is focused and attacks the palate with lots of acidity followed by chalky mineral and creamy finish laced with notes of citrus and spice. This is the most approachable of all three Chardonnay’s from Liquid Farm. Drink it now or watch it evolve over the next decade. (2014-2024) - April, 2014 (MD)
