Most wine makers will tell you that good Pinot Noir wines should be given an opportunity to breath before you drink them. Especially if the pinot noir has been cellared for a number of years.

When you open a cellared bottle of pinot Noir its like you are waking it up from a long sleep, and the last thing you want to do is shock it into a wakened state. Wine is a living product, and it’s condition changes over time. Inside a sealed bottle the Pinot noir ages gracefully as it is protected from oxidation caused by exposure to air.

Some oxidation of Pinot Noir however, just after opening a bottle and prior to drinking, is essential in order to encourage the wine to disclose its secrets. In this situation oxidation is good and to achieve that you can use a decanter.

What happens when you pour wine into a decanter is that you expose all the Pinot noir to air which helps it to “breath”and gently come back to life. The Allure Pinot Noir decanter and glasses set  can assist this breathing process via the incorporated ripples in the pinot noir glasses and decanter, so that when pouring and swirling wine in the wine glass extra exposure to air is assisted and maximized, thus releasing more of the complex pinot noir flavors.
