Tasting - Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon

Name: Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Region: Sonoma County, California
Country: United States
Year: 2012
Price: $33.00

Winery Review: Alluring black cherry and raspberry jam aromas, was well as more subtle notes of nutmeg, spice and chocolate. On the palate, lovely layers of raspberry and plum are supported by excellent structure and seamlessly integrated oak.

My Review: This wine had a very oaky aroma mixed with spices and very little fruit. After tasting, I found the oak component to be too heavy and overpowered the rest of the flavors. The finish was also very tannic and combined with the oak flavor, I did not like this wine very much.

I did not have this wine with food.
