Still good and balanced after a couple hours open Great complement to wild salmon from the copper river Don’t think there is any upside to waiting on this

Red ruby in color. Pretty expressive aromas of crushed red berries, florals, wet leaves and hint of baking spice on the nose. The palate shows silky and mouth filling red berry preserves, good mid palate sap, lowish acidity and a long asian spice and floral finish.

Drinking very nicely. Classic Santa Barbara pinot profile.
