| 2010 Duckhorn Vineyards Pinot Noir "Decoy" Winery: Duckhorn Vineyards Vintage: 2010 Wine Name/Vineyard: "Decoy" Wine Category: Pinot Noir Grape blend: 100% Pinot Noir Region: Sonoma County State or country: CA Price: $22 Cases produced: 13,898 KWG Score: 86 (based on 2 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (89) Review date: May 25, 2012 Wine Review: If you are looking for a reasonably priced and Very Good Pinot? Look no further. This ruby red colored Pinot from Duckhorn opens with a red currant and Acai like bouquet with a hint of thyme in the background. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, juicy and easy going. The flavor profile is a ripe strawberry and old oak blend with notes of black cherry, black raspberry, and some black pepper. The finish is dry, elegant, and friendly. This wine would pair well with grilled salmon or grilled red snapper. Enjoy - Ken Winemaker Notes: Decoy Pinot Noir highlights a plush and approachable expression of Pinot Noir that is crafted to be ready upon release. The aromas offer enticing layers of ripe strawberry, French plum, loganberry and anise, with hints of blueberry, cola and spice. On the palate, this medium-weight wine is graceful and inviting with abundant red fruit notes of raspberry, cherry and plum, as well as more sophisticated elements of forest floor and tobacco leaf, all supported by firm, age-worthy tannins and a streak of uplifting acidity. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Duckhorn 2010 Decoy Pinot Noir.
