Lloyd by Robert Lloyd Pinot Noir is a bold yet elegant expression of California winemaking, crafted from 100% Pinot Noir sourced exclusively from the renowned Sta. Rita Hills, a region celebrated for producing exceptional Pinot Noir. Winemaker Rob Lloyd brings his passion for rich, approachable wines to life with this carefully crafted bottling. The wine undergoes cool fermentation to preserve the delicate aromatics of Sta. Rita Hills fruit, followed by aging in French oak barrels to enhance depth and add subtle spice. Deep ruby in color, it offers aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and a hint of baking spice, while the palate delivers layers of ripe red and black berries, vanilla, cocoa, and a touch of earthiness. The velvety mouthfeel is balanced by lively acidity, leading to a long, elegant finish with lingering fruit and oak notes. This Pinot Noir’s bold character pairs beautifully with roasted duck, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, or creamy cheeses, and is equally enjoyable on its own. Perfectly showcasing Rob Lloyd’s expertise and the unique terroir of Sta. Rita Hills, this wine is ideal for any occasion, from casual dinners to celebratory moments.
