Wine Review: This clear and dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon from Decoy opens with a black cherry and cedar bouquet with hints of pencil lead and blackberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, round, and very approachable. The flavor profile is black currant and cedar plank blend with notes of black licorice and dark chocolate. I also detected hints of black cherry and stony minerality. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity, and dusty tannins build-up and stick around for quite some time. I would pair this food friendly and versatile Paso Robles Cab with a New York strip steak. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: With each sip of our new Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, you’ll experience the rich scents of wild blueberry, muddled raspberry and subtle hints of molasses and vanilla bean. On the palate, flavors of sarsaparilla, allspice and bittersweet chocolate are underscored by a restrained style and taste that is classically Decoy. This single appellation wine is aged in French oak barrels, highlighting the depth, complexity, and spice true to this powerful region.
