Tasting - Decoy Napa Red

Name: Decoy Napa Red
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Region: Napa County, California
Country: United States
Year: 2011
Price: $33.00

Winery Review: Abundant layers of dark fruit and well-developed tannins. On the nose, layers of blackberry and blueberry mingle with hints of herbs and black olives. The rich fruit notes continue on the palate and lead to a long, structured finish.

My Review:This wine had a strong peppery, oaky aroma like most Cabernets. Upon tasting, there were light fruit flavors but the oak once again came through too strongly. It had a tannic finish but was well balanced so the tannins did not take away from the wine.

I did not have this wine with food.
