This new Riedel Syrah decanter gets a thumbs up for beauty, value and functionality. This non-lead crystal decanter features a classic rounded base with sensual lines that graduate up the neck, while the pour spout has a special design that advocates a drip-free flow of your favorite vino. Decanting exposes the wine to more oxygen, thus allowing the bouquet to open up and mature, while the wines complexities are further enhanced.The process of decanting also allows any sediment to fall to the base of the decanter.
