Wonderful, aged Chardonnay. Enjoyed at Michael and Rita’s with Jeff and Mr/Mrs Renzoni! Just as wonderful as it was at the Insignia release at JPV last September. Will save the other magnum for next summer.

Drank from a magnum that we bought at a Phelps event. We normally do not like to age California chardonnay's, but the 2010 that we tasted at the Phelps event was shockingly good, so we bought a bottle. At nearly 10 years old, it is not as tart, but neither was it flat nor dead. It is smoother, but still has plenty of fruit and taste. Just extremely drinkable.

same tasting notes as December. The wine is holding well. Would not necessarily recommend further aging.

My last bottle. This was a great wine and a great value, but has really declined. I would be a drinker.
