Haven't had LLoyds for a few vintages on account of an attack of the cheaps, but this one was a killer for us... a big CA beauty with all the right stuff. Medium weight, balanced oak, nice palette of Chard flavors. A wonderful lunch wine, send it in!

Smooth with hint of black licorice/anise. Lingering grapefruit after taste on back and sides of tongue. Not as buttery as I would have liked and didn't care for the grapefruit after taste.
We loved this wine. But we also love this style of Chardonnay. Lots of apple with vanilla and a mineral streak. Paired well with Thai Basil Chicken dish.

Rombauer Chardonnay with a different label. Heavy oak and 100% malolactic fermentation. In other words, an oaky butter bomb. Full bodied, almost syrupy. If you like Rombauer Chardonnay, and a lot of people do, you should try this.

What a nice surprise. I bought this based on the recommendation of a Total Wine employee. Bright citrus and peach flavors with just the right amount of sweetness. Long finish.

When in the mood, we love this style chardonnay. This has enough acidity to go well with food.

Rombauer incarnate. Oaky California Chardonnay butter bomb. My wife would love it. As Austin Hope is to Caymus, Lloyd is to Rombauer. ‘Nuf said!

Solid Classic CA chardonnay. Think Rombauer but cheaper

Similar impressions as the first bottle but rating it 1 pt higher. Cream, pear, pineapple, citrus, tropical notes.

An enjoyable Los Carneros Chardonnay. Nice level of butter, cream pear, pineapple, banana, and some citrus notes. Glad I bought 2 bottles!
