The 2022 Pacificana Chardonnay is a modern expression of classic California winemaking, delivering rich texture with a fresh, balanced edge. Golden apple, ripe pineapple, and pear lead the palate, layered with subtle vanilla and toasted oak from well-judged barrel aging. Its creamy mouthfeel is offset by bright acidity, making it versatile with food yet satisfying on its own. At under $20, it offers exceptional value for those seeking a full-bodied yet refined Chardonnay.
