2014 is the inaugural release of the Radian vineyard Pinot Noir from Liquid Farm. Planted in 2007 and located at the very southwest corner of the Sta. Rita Hills, Radian Vineyard is steep and extreme with soils that look almost chalk-like which are composed of diatomaceous shale/earth. This bright and vibrant Pinot Noir begins to slowly open up with pretty aromas of raspberries, cranberry and pomegranate followed by exotic spices, dried violets and hints of smoldering ash. It shows wonderful overall balance and structure with a nice touch of acidity carrying over into the zesty finish. A lovely effort and I expect this to continue to take shape over the next few years.
