Notes from the Winemaker:
Lloyd Cellars' most popular wine, known for its complexity and versatility with food. It’s a fantastic expression of a luscious, rich California Chardonnay balanced perfectly with natural acidity. 100% Chardonnay sourced predominately from Sangiacomo Vineyards, Kiser, Home and Green Acre Blocks with a small amount of ‘Hens and Chicks’ fruit from the Truchard Vineyard. Barrel fermented and aged for 10 months in American oak. The wine is left on the lees right up until bottling.
Tasting Notes:
Layers of tropical fruits, pear, and apple wrap around refreshing acidity and fresh lemon, all supported by rich notes of vanillin leading into a powerful, yet elegant finish.

Ratings & Reviews
92 Points - James Suckling:
"This toasty white has aromas of white chocolate, chopped nuts and buttered corn. Clove, too. It’s smoky, spicy and full-bodied with a creamy texture." (Aug 2025)
