($20, Vintus): Aconcagua Costa is a subregion of Aconcagua, Chile’s most northern most premium wine growing area.  Closer to the Pacific Ocean, it is a cooler area, perfect for Chardonnay, a grape than expresses itself best in cooler climate.  Errazuriz has taken advantage of the location to making a stunning $20 Chardonnay (if it carried a Napa Valley appellation it would be at least twice as much.)  As much as I liked their Wild Ferment Chardonnay from Aconcagua, this one, from the even cooler coastal region, is…well…just better.  It’s more refined, precise and even more suave.  You want a terrific $20 Chardonnay?  This is it!
