The 2022 Pahlmeyer, Chardonnay Napa Valley was a Merchant's Pick

98 point Pahlmeyer Chardonnay is Stunning

December 11, 2025

One Of California's Top Five Chardonnays

If you have enjoyed Kistler, Aubert, or Kongsgaard Chardonnays, you have likely enjoyed the opulence of Pahlmeyer Chardonnay. 

“For more than three decades, the Pahlmeyer family has been perfecting its formula for the quintessential California Chardonnay... All the grapes for this wine come from Atlas Peak, Napa’s highest-altitude appellation, where Pahlmeyer’s estate vineyards are located.” 

There, elevations range from 1,500 to 2,100 feet, where cool nights foster the wine's natural acidity. 

The 2022 Pahlmeyer Chardonnay fills the room with vivacious grapefruit, white peach and lemon tart scents with touches of roasted nut, brioche, orange blossoms, beeswax and shaved almonds.  The palate delivers super-intense citrus flavors with loads of savory and satiny texture. 

Pahlmeyer's Chardonnay signature is the wine's brilliant juxtaposition of grandeur and bright acidity.  Given the vineyard's elevation, the fruit is able to blend classic Napa Valley opulence with Burgundian balance and restraint.

Pahlmeyer is one of California's top five Chardonnays.  It pairs magnificently with pan-seared salmon and roasted vegetables.

Available in limited supply - first come, first served. 

Enjoy!

Pahlmeyer Chardonnay Marries Napa Valley Opulence With A Burgundian Charm

“Rich, ripe and creamy.”

James Suckling • 97 / 100

"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."

“Chardonnay that you'd want to stockpile in the cellar.”

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."

“It is terrific.”

Vinous

"The 2022 Chardonnay is dense and powerful. In that sense, it is perhaps a bit more typical than the 2023 tasted alongside it. Dried pear, apricot, chamomile, marzipan, tangerine oil, flowers and light tropical accents all build in the glass. This is the only Chardonnay from Pahlmeyer in 2022, and it is terrific."
