Although they account for less than 10% of Larkmead’s production, the white wines can stand shoulder to shoulder with Napa Valley’s best. As the Merlot is a shape shifter that pretends to be Cabernet Sauvignon, Lillie replicates that same ambiguity -  a Sauvignon Blanc that acts as a Chardonnay. The nose may be aromatically in tune with its variety, but the palate possesses the weight and gravitas of a Chardonnay. The result is an incredibly distinctive effort made from a small parcel of grapes that benefits from extended elevage and bottle aging.
