Vintage: 2022

The Pahlmeyer Chardonnay Napa Valley 2022 is a thrilling and age-worthy Chardonnay in Napa Valley crafted by winemaker Katie Vogt. This iconic Napa Valley Chardonnay wine bursts with rich, ripe aromas of white peach, pineapple, and salted lemon peel. It opens with intense floral notes, such as gardenia and orange blossom, layered over a bouquet of sweet clover and lemongrass. A fresh tropical lift mingles with hints of toasted marshmallow and flint, making each sip vibrant and aromatic.

On the palate, this wine captivates with its ultra-rich, creamy body balanced by a lively acidity. The flavors unfold like a tapestry, interspersing juicy citrus notes of tarte citron and preserved lemon with the opulence of toasted almond, caramel, and spiced pear. The texture is both silky and complex, polished by the luxurious touch of new French oak. Oak tannins frame the flavors beautifully, providing a memorable finish that echoes with hints of baked macaroons and hazelnuts. This Napa Chardonnay will continue to mature and gain depth over the next 5-7 years, making it a perfect choice for collectors looking to stockpile a Napa vintage with exceptional structure.

The wine’s full-bodied, concentrated character conveys power and restraint, while the acidity suspends the fruit with a crisp elegance, creating a balanced yet vibrant experience. The 2022 Napa vintage shows how Pahlmeyer captures the essence of this terroir, with fruit sourced from top vineyards like Pahlmeyer Estate and other select blocks.

This Napa Valley Chardonnay earned high praise from critics for its unique structure and power. Decanter noted the wine’s expansive depth and bouquet, naming it one of the most memorable young Chardonnays. James Suckling scored it a stunning 97 points, highlighting the layers of butterscotch, poached pear, and vanilla bean, describing it as “extremely rich, ripe, and creamy.” Wine Spectator celebrated the Chardonnay’s fresh finish and complex flavors of caramelized pineapple and spiced apple.

Critical Acclaim

WS 94
Wine Spectator
Expansive, broad and aromatic, the notes of toasted fennel, lemon thyme, litsea oil and vetiver leap out of the glass, giving way to opulent flavors of grilled peach, caramelized pineapple and spiced, baked apples. Shows power and elegance, with crisp acidity pushing the flavors into clarity and helping them linger on the fresh finish.
DEC 95
Decanter
Having toured Stagecoach vineyard with Pahlmeyer winemaker Katie Vogt and talked at length about her strict focus on expressing site, I couldn't stop thinking about the Chardonnay wines I'd sampled. Near the end of the year, I got my hands on the 2022 release of this iconic label's Chardonnay, and it's the kind of structured, powerful, intensely flavourful Chardonnay that you'd want to stockpile in the cellar. It conveys a duality of power and restraint. Knockout aromas of white peach, pineapple, and salted lemon peel, coconut, and wet stone. Full and rich with an extraordinary depth of sweet, creamy fruit that inundates the palate, suspended by an equally penetrating core of saline minerality infused with a luxurious finish of almond pastry notes, dried apricots, and white flowers. One of the most memorable young Chardonnays I tasted all year. Aged in 100% new Francois Ferrer heavy toast oak barrels. Number four of my top 10 wines of 2023.
JS 97
James Suckling
Extremely rich, ripe and creamy, this luxurious wine ferments and ages in 90% new French barrels, and a majority of the grapes come from Old Wente clone vines from Atlas Peak AVA vineyards. Aromas of butterscotch, vanilla bean, poached pears and toasted baguette lead to an incredibly silky palate of ripe fruit and oak spices that build as you sip and linger long on the finish. Drink or hold.
