From magnum. After about 15 minutes, the air blew off the initial acid, revealing a fantastic, deep Chardonnay. Great flavors of apple, minerals, and flowers. Drinking very well now but will last for many years. Recommend decanting at this point.

This is the same bottling as 750ml, and we only did 30 cases, mostly because Robert Parker liked the wine, bought a case, and asked me to bottle in mags….so I did.
Torchiana began and has continue to evolve as out richest Chardonnay. It is always Wente clone (or a selection of Wente/heritage plant material) for that is all we work with. In 2005 it was mostly Hudson Vineyard. In recent almost all Beresini vineyard.
Last time I had the wine it was rocking.

From a magnum. This was awesome. We really enjoyed it, it was singing with a beautiful gold color, moderate oak and a balanced mouthfeel and finish!

Big, rich and oaked. A lovely full bodied wine with great, burly balance. Popcorn, butter and happiness. PDQ93+
