This was a pop and pour and would certainly benefit from time in the decanter, about and hour should suffice. A spicy elixir of high toned cherry notes followed by a touch of pepper. Undoubtedly new world without any signs of heat. Well balanced and a crowd pleaser. This is far from the burgundy I like but a solid wine in its prime with another 3-5 years of good drinking.

Splash decanted and poured into glasses for 1 hour before tasting. Clear, purple ruby. Intense nose. This drank better than the 15 Gap's Crown. Classic big CA Pinot with red fruit profile, full bodied and well balanced/integrated. Powerful but smooth with a long finish. Great stuff, nothing off. $$73 Winery direct.
