Can't say I have had many wines from Yolo County, but I will say that this would be a great example if I were asked to provide an example. Rob Lloyd production (past winemaker for Rombauer) named for the distance from the Winemakers home to the vineyards he's sourcing from. The nose of the wine is pretty enticing - butterscotch candy, caramel, lemon, and dill spice on the nose. The pallet is creamy and slightly buttery, exhibiting notes of baked apples, lemon, pineapple, mango, and a bright finish. It has a good inclusion of acid to make up for the malo. Great chardonnay.. I could drink this more often. It is very reminiscent of Rombauer, but for $20 - if not better.
