Decanting Advice, Please...

WINE TALK
1

Hi, all.

I’ve no real experience with young California pinot noirs, and figure this would be the best place to ask. At my youngest sister’s fiancé’s request, we are serving a Cali pinot noir with the roasted duck breast course of their wedding dinner - specifically, the 2011 Tyler Winery Bien Nacido Old Vines Pinot Noir. I’d like to get from my fellow Berserkers in-the-know advice on ideal decanting/aeration time prior to serving. Many thanks in advance.

Best,

I am not familiar with this particular wine, but in general with California pinot -No decant at all. Pop and pour. Especially from 2011 the wines were good from the get go.

Thanks for the input, Bob.

Agree with Bob, PNP, no real benefit to decant.
