no decant, drank over 2 hours. simply devine. beguiling aromatics, palate of red berries, hints of orange and iron, long delicate finish with excellent acidity. last bottle of a case. when i had my first bottle (and my palate was less mature) i was underwhelmed, being used to and preferring big, heavy hitter wines. this wine is delicate and pretty in style... which is what i'm trending towards these days.

Like you, I was corrected by David Ramey, I (gasp) thought I tasted American oak in one is his chardonnays, which I love. I live in Chapel Hill. I am just starting to collect, focus right now is Bordeaux mostly. Would love to get together sometime for a tasting.

Correct, I live in Raleigh. We should definitely organize a tasting at some point. My father collects wine as well, so that would be a fun start. We're both fans of California Cab, Bordeaux, Cali Rhone, actual Rhone, domestic Pinot, Spanish, Italian, and so on.
Are you going to any of the Triangle Wine Experience dinners?
Cheers,
Andrew

Dark purple fruits, hints of chocolate, lacking complexity but always delicious and great qpr.

These Rhys Santa Cruz Pinots are terrific, ripe fruit balanced with freshness and acidity. Prime drinking right now.
