I had read this was the best of the Decoys, and I wanted to believe it. But it isn’t. Cab and the Merlot are superior.
I get blueberry and chocolate on the nose. Fruit immediately in taste, and I will give it it marks for a good finish.
That said, it does not have the suppleness of their merlot nor the brute of the cab, unfortunately. Fruit forward, yes, tho with the depth I’d expect from Decoy.
Decanted 1 hour. A good value particularly at Costco. It’s probably suffering under unfair expectations from me, frankly.

Solid table wine, a little sweet but has good fruit and some depth with a touch of vanilla and a peppery kick from the zin. Good value.

Drank at Park Avenue Restaurant’s wine flight week. Just okay and not very memorable apart from bright red fruit.
