Lloyd by Robert Lloyd

When the guy behind your favorite Chardonnay finally puts his name on his own.

You’ve probably already tasted Rob Lloyd’s work – he’s helped craft three of the top five California Chardonnays.

But you might not know he’s been making his own since 2008 – earning national praise for wines that are every bit as layered and balanced as he is.

Now you can find his namesake Lloyd Cellars Chardonnay at Total Wine & More near you.

The Wines We Love to Drink.

Rob Lloyd has spent decades shaping what California Chardonnay tastes like — mentoring, blending, and refining for some of Napa’s most recognized names. Lloyd Cellars is where he gets to do it his way.Every bottle starts with perfectly ripened Carneros fruit, whole-cluster pressed, barrel-fermented, and aged in French oak for that signature depth and texture.

It’s Napa craftsmanship with California confidence — a wine built to impress the table without needing to announce itself.
