Tasting - Decoy Merlot

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

Winery Review: Aromas of strawberry compote, plum and cherry wood are supported by hints of clove and cinnamon from the well-integrated oak. The red fruit continues on the palate with layers of fresh strawberry and raspberry. Bright acid lengthens the finish, which concludes with soft, mature tannins.

My Review: This wine had an aroma of cinnamon and oak with little fruit aromas. After tasting, the fruits came through on the front and mid palates with a tannic finish that made it very dry.

I did not have this wine with food.
