The 2023 Lloyd Chardonnay is bold, buttery, and beautifully balanced, crafted from premium Sangiacomo Vineyards fruit in Carneros. Rob Lloyd’s partnership with this renowned grower ensures exceptional quality. Barrel fermentation, full malolactic fermentation, and oak aging create a creamy texture with tropical aromas of pineapple and mango, complemented by golden apple, citrus zest, and a toasty oak finish. Perfect with creamy pastas, lobster, or roasted chicken, this full-bodied Chardonnay is a tribute to classic California style. Serve slightly chilled and enjoy its rich character.
