A favorite bottle to commemorate some new ink. Always love LF, as this is a chard that definitely grows and progresses as it opens up and warms up in the glass. Beautiful notes of iris, candied pineapple, melon, toasted walnuts, and saline minerality on the nose. Gorgeous texture and purity of fruit.. bruised apple, Meyer lemon, papaya, and chalky minerals. Bright zingy acidity on the backend, but not as lean as something like Ceritas or Failla - a bit more baby fat and textural complexity on this bottle that keeps you coming back for more. A perfect hybrid of styles by Jeff Nelson and co. Paired with a creamy bow tie pasta with dried tomatoes and a spring salad.

Always one of my favorites. Really showing well and has more years ahead of it. From a Magnum

Light gold color in the glass. Grass, lemon and a little saline on the nose. Bright notes of green apple, citrus and key lime with an oily mouthfeel. Finish is long with a little acidity and heat. Very good.

Another Liquid Farm firing on all cylinders!! Fruit is deep, lemon and apricot, with this same lanolin feel I’ve noted in other vintages. This drinks like Meursault - excellent stuff. Thanks LF, can’t wait for our new visit

Another solid vintage from LF. Tropical fruits, green apples, plenty of minerality and acidity.

Would like to try this again. Bottle was fine, think my palate was off this day.
