We need to talk about decanters. Just you and us. They’re not a make-or-break household item. But they exist. For a reason. They let wine breathe. Sniff once and it’s cabernet. Sniff again and it’s a glassful of berries, oak shavings, dry herbs, whole nutmegs; a 90s table centrepiece for your nose, and a far cry from the fruity acidity you first encountered. We’re having the decanter conversation now because by the time you’ve found one (perhaps a VNTNR object, perhaps not), you’ll have a dry-farmed Sonoma Mountain cabernet sauvignon with a powerful story to tell.
