Industry Leading Trade Magazine for Restauranteurs & Retailers Big Fans of our 2018 Carneros Chardonnay
Lloyd by Robert Lloyd 2018 Chardonnay, Carneros, Sonoma County ($40) This expression was made primarily with grapes sourced from three separate blocks in the certified-sustainable Sangiacomo Vineyard; a small percentage comes from Truchard Vineyard. These prestigious sites clearly influence the intensity and purity of fruit in the barrel-fermented wine, which aged for ten months in American oak and was left on the lees until bottling. Carneros Chardonnay is associated with crisp acidity and fresh stone-fruit flavors, and this is no exception; it also offers aromas of pineapple, lemon, and white flowers that lead to notes of buttered pecan, vanilla, peach, and daffodil. 94 Points
