Liquid Farm, Vogelzang Rose, Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara

With Chicken Curry…. Found this in the cellar and pleasantly surprised. Great acidity and slight creaminess. Herbal potpourri in background. Melon and muted cherry.floral nose.cotton candy coming and going. Better after 45 minutes of air. Great midweight mouthfeel.impressive. Hard to give a score 88-90 range

Waiting on this until 10 years old and glad I did! This matured exceptionally well. Plenty of fruit remains along with the pink crack texture we know and love. But the development of the funky complexities made this a notch or two above. Great stuff.

2014 vintage

Yeah, yum. Still doing incredibly well.

2014 vintage

Just wanted to add a note to indicate that these can certainly age incredibly well. Savory with a good amount of fruit left. Reminiscent of a slightly modern Provence rose. Both on the nose and on the palate: strawberries, minerality/saltiness/stoniness, very herbaceous and savory. I absolutely loved this even with all the age. I accidentally lost this in my cellar and I realized that I actually preferred it to when it was released.

2014 vintage

Opened and had two glasses, very nice. Forgot about it for four days and thought it would be done in, but it was still pretty good.

2014 vintage

Showing some aged notes now. Still fruity, but the funk is in the driver's seat. It's excellent.

2014 vintage

Immediately delicious on pnp. Remains interesting, earthy, a bit funky, and all around delicious into day 2 as well.

2014 vintage

A very enjoyable and light rose. It needed time to open and was much better the second day, but still good the first.

2015 vintage

Crisp and dry with great minerality and a wonderful way to start Syrah dinner

2015 vintage

11.8% abv. My first wine from Liquid Farm. Contains "a tiny amount of grapes from Vande Steege and Jack McGinley Vineyards," Pale pumpkin color with clarity. Drinking it chilled, the fragrance was dulled. The taste is appealing and fruity. On the palate I sense a less pronounced plum and cherry as if there were such a thing as white plums and white cherries. Delicious!

Crisp and dry with strawberry notes

2015 vintage

This was the perfect beginning to an outdoor barbeque with a number of guests. This salmon colored Rose' won more fans during the afternoon as it provided a structured but juicy aperitif as guests arrived. Minerals, nectarine and strawberry notes are evident and this held up to all varieties of appetizers. It gained consensus and a new following. Perfect for a late-August day!!

2015 vintage

This Rose is certainly quaffable, and goes great with a summer salad but I was hoping for a little bit more. The Mourvedre does give it extra depth and weight, but I needed a little bit more crisp acidity and perhaps some more verve and tension. Otherwise it comes off as a little bit too soft and one-dimensional. For a California rose, I slightly prefer the Ode to Lulu more.

2015 vintage

Crisp with strawberry and watermelon and yumminess

2015 vintage

Another tasty bottle of the Pink Crack! Love this stuff and the team at LF.

2015 vintage

Pink crack! I love this stuff. In a good place right now.

2015 vintage

It may have been the perfect weather on Memorial Day or the mood or setting enjoying the outside elements but this was one of the best drinking experiences I have enjoyed with the pink crack. It was not as mineral driven as past offerings and the acidity was a notch lower. It seemed a bit more rounded around the edges. Lovely salmon color and although dry the purity of fruit certainly shined through. Lovely bottle!

2015 vintage

A perfect wine for a perfect sunny Spring day. Salmon colored with nice acidity. Mineral driven with nectarine and white peach notes. Slightly under ripened fruit notes - not the grapes, just the flavor profile. Strawberry undertones. Able to stand up to a variety of food but I enjoyed this on the deck with just me and sunshine.

2015 vintage

Really good for a wine that should be toast. Fruit still there. Very enjoyable.

2014 vintage

I have been waiting for some sunshine to hit the Chicagoland area to be able to get out on the patio and open up a bit of the pink crack. Always a sign Spring is in the air. I love how this wine has fruit elements of strawberry and nectarine but has structure and integrity and the stuffing to pair with numerous food offerings. It is serious and yet fun. It is salmon colored and has some mineral flavors within …

2015 vintage

Better than the last bottle. More like a Bandol but maybe not as much fruit as I like.

2015 vintage

Have heard a lot of buzz about this winery. This is my first try and I probably shouldn't have broken one of my wine rules--never buy rose when it has been in the bottle longer than a year ( am sure there are exceptions). This bottle is very pale, almost clear. Crisp but not much fruit or anything else. Terrible QPR.

2015 vintage

Crisp and refreshing with nice minerality and balance and went great with sushi

2015 vintage

Lithe and angular, a perfect pairing with big bowls of clams and fennel, all the minerality setting off the mollusks.

2015 vintage

This is probably on the decline, but it did hold up for two days. On day one the nose had the same stone fruit with strawberries that I've come to expect but it also had a sour milk note to it. On the palate the wine was great, but the after taste would resurrect that sourness. On day 2, the sourness kind of morphed in to a mango passion fruit, which was pleasing albeit a little weird for this wine. …

2014 vintage

Not many people think of drinking Rose in the middle of a Chicago winter, but what better wine to enjoy the NCAA Football Championship with a variety of appetizers, cheeses and charcuterie. Salmon orange in color with bracing acidity that pairs lovely with these foods. It didn't hurt that it was a helluva game and one for the ages. Nice minerality and stone with strawberry fruit and a bit of nectarine. LF Fam forever!

2015 vintage

Orange pink color. Funky nose with red fruit in the background. The palate was red fruited with a mineral edge on the finish. This was light-bodied with zippy acidity to amplify the crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this was a perfect aperitif because of its honest fruit, but the mouvedre funk made it distinctive and interesting.

2015 vintage

Drank as part of the Thanksgiving celebrations (afternoon prequel). Very easy, reminiscent of the name (pink crack). More mineraly, light, tasty.

2015 vintage

A bit of charcoal on the palate, but nice with shellfish stew. I want to like this more than I do. There is a smokey flavor that takes away from the freshness and the fruit and I am not sure I will buy more from this vintage because that has been common in the bottles I have had.

2015 vintage

Orange tint. Peach, orange blossum, and slate. Enjoyable bottle more in a Provence style than any CA rose I've had.

2014 vintage

Still hits the spot. Drinking this with a September chill in the air and chicken on the grill puts me in a Jim Morrison kind of mind. We had some good times But they're gone The winter's comin' on Summer's almost gone

2015 vintage

Ordered a bottle of this with some work colleagues at the Morrell Wine bar and then came home and shared a bottle with friends. This wine is always top notch and very appealing. Great fruits but keeps itself very dry. A better acidity level which made the transition from a Merry Edwards SB to this a bit interesting in the beginning, but easy to fall into this after a few sips. Sorry that we are down to one bottle, but …

2015 vintage

Crisp and refreshing with watermelon and acidity

2015 vintage

Very nice on day 1 but a disaster on day 3. Fruity and light charcoal on day 1, but completely flat and lifeless on the next day. Drink in one sitting very cold and you will enjoy.

2015 vintage

A light, inoffensive, well-crafted and eminently gulpable on a hot day sort of Rose -- only I drank it slowly and paid attention to it. Verdict: a touch watery and boring. More fruit and verve and the balance would send this to another direction.

2015 vintage

Fresh peach on nose. Lively mouth feel. Nicely dry and vibrant. On par with better Provence roses.

2014 vintage

Really nice California Rosé. Light peach in flavor with an interesting minerality.

2014 vintage

A very good domestic rose that is holding up well!

2014 vintage

I've opened two of these this week. Last year's vintage has easily coasted into this summer. Refreshing, flavorful rosé.

2014 vintage

One of the most reliable California rosés year after year. A welcome refreshing delight on this warm evening. Bright pomelo tones and well-balanced acidity, leaving a clean palate on the back end. Very enjoyable.

2014 vintage

Crisp with nice dry acidity and light strawberry which was great with grilled salmon and veggies

2014 vintage

Feels a little more meaty and serious compared to last summer. Doing just fine overall, but I would drink it this season.

2014 vintage

Very nice for a rose. Not overly complex, but very easy drinking, with some nice acidity. Not overly sweet, but not a lot of depth either.

2014 vintage

Amazing. As usual. Round, delicious, earthy, fruity, and a delight to drink.

2014 vintage

Delicious albeit a little simple. Nice nose of strawberry, melon, and spice. On the palate, red raspberry, unripe strawberry, spice. Nice finish, just a little short. Great food wine.

2014 vintage

Thanksgiving opener - was a hit! Really tasted great. Peach and rose water with a pinch of vanilla sweetness. Everyone came back for more.

2014 vintage

Killer. Paired beautifully with salmon and grilled veg. Just a hint of fruit, savory and thirst quenching. Very clean - served very cold.

2014 vintage

Smells like beef stew from a can. But that could just be my first impression. Or what was left over in my glass. Palate is really darn savory as well. Maybe that is all blowing off.

2014 vintage

Really nice, refreshing rose from Liquid Farm. This has a light salmon color and subtle red cherry nose. There's more cherry, green melon, strawberry and a touch of lime on the tongue. Lively acidity and a medium long finish make this an extremely enjoyable summertime libation.

2014 vintage

Still pink crack! Took a little time for the fruit to really come out to round out the acidity, and it's just excellent as always.

2014 vintage

Are you sure?
