5 Stars & 94/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, July 2025
"Complex and enticing, the wine exhibits aromas of mango, pineapple, vanillin oak, and butterscotch on the nose. The palate delivers excellent weight and a plush mouthfeel, splendidly structured by fine acidity. Generous and flavoursome with a lengthy, satisfying finish. At its best: now to 2027."
Winery notes (2022 Vintage)
"Our version of iconic California Chardonnay with aromas of citrus, ripe apples, and vanilla. Pacificana® showcases classic California styles for the next generation of wine enthusiasts. It embodies the bold, pioneering spirit of the California landscape and those who call it home. This Chardonnay isn’t the oak-bomb style of ten years ago. Instead, it strikes the perfect balance between richness and elegance. Our modern version of Cali Chard is bold and engaging, offering an unmistakable varietal signature that’s perfect for pairing with your favorite home-cooked meals.
A happy planet produces great wine. That's why we teamed up with 1% for the Planet — an international organization that supports a network of eco-conscious businesses committed to donating one percent of their sales toward environmental causes. As a member, 1% of all our Pacificana® sales go toward benefiting and preserving the environment."
Pairs well with pasta with cream sauce, cheeses, and cured meats.
