Liquid Farm Radian Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2023

The name Liquid Farm describes the authentic nature of wine (liquid from farming), and reflects their strong belief that all great wines start in the vineyard. It is truly all about selecting the right locations and the highest quality fruit, then allowing the varietal and regional typicity to shine through from vineyard to glass. Their wines reflect an Old World style while embracing the local Santa Barbara County viticulture and climate. They focus on wines from one of the coolest of California AVA’s – the Sta. Rita Hills. It’s home to some of the most unique, ancient soils in North America and is perfect for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Radian Vineyard is the westernmost vineyard along Santa Rosa Rd, in the heart of Sta. Rita Hills. Cold nights and a constant marine influence makes this site ideal for expressive and balanced Pinot Noir. This bottling has become one of our most popular and sells out very quickly each vintage.

"The high point of the Liquid Farm portfolio is the 2023 Pinot Noir Radian Vineyard, which fermented with a touch of whole clusters and matured for 16 months. It leads with an airy bouquet defined by citrus peels, underbrush and oceanic overtones, with its dark-fruitied, intensely concentrated fruit profile tucked into the background. The palate packs a substantial punch given the delicacy of the nose, harnessing fantastic concentration and density into a tensile, wiry frame. It proceeds with the glacially slow-moving finish that often characterizes this site, lingering with palpable minerality and retronasal floral tones. This merits at least another year in the bottle, and it should drink beautifully for a decade beyond that." Wine Advocate 95
