Winery review: The 2012 vintage has yielded a lush and appealing expression of Decoy Cabernet with alluring black cherry and raspberry jam aromas, as 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 sweet nose with hints of strawberry licorice. The overall taste of this wine was licorice and plum. The finish of the wine was EXTREMELY dry. If I try this wine again, I would like to try it with cheese, to ward off the dry finish.
I tried this wine without food.
