Four Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay 2017

“Four” is a single-vintage blend of the most exciting barrels of Chardonnay from Liquid Farm’s vineyards. Popped and poured; enjoyed with friends over the course of an hour or so. The 2017 pours a striking, intensely bright golden color. I’m not sure I have seen anything quite like it before. It’s nearly neon. On the nose, the wine is redolent ripe and tart tropical fruits: starfruit and pineapple along with lemons, green apple, butter, gentle baking spices (this does see extended time in a small percentage of new oak). On the palate, the wine is dry with what I perceive to be high acid. It’s awesome. Confirming the notes form the nose, the finish is long with good minerality. This is titillating wine that hooks you from sight to nose to palate and it’s the latter that drives it home with the remarkable acid to match the fruit. About as good as any New World Chardonnay I’ve ever had. Drink now through 2039. — 8 days ago

Half bottle. Light gold color. Nose dominated by petrol and maybe some melons and pineapples. Wine is very deep and more sweet than acidic. On the younger side with potential.

This opened up nicely after 20 mins+, even got some subtle lilac tones.

Finger Lakes Cabernet Franc 2021

Less remarkable than I remember from the winery visit, but still not bad overall for the price. Doesn’t quite fill out the palate but restrained fruit cores through. — 3 months ago
