WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
With each sip of our new Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon, you’ll experience the rich scents of wild blueberry, muddled raspberry and subtle hints of molasses and vanilla bean. On the palate, flavors of sarsaparilla, allspice and bittersweet chocolate are underscored by a restrained style and taste that is classically Decoy. This single appellation wine is aged in French oak barrels, highlighting the depth, complexity, and spice true to this powerful region.
Varietal Composition: 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 2% Petite Sirah
TASTING NOTES:
The dark berry and plum aromas on the nose of this bottling are cut by nutmeg, cola and bittersweet cocoa touches on the nose of this bottling. The palate is quite dry with flavors of dark chocolate flake and oregano, as dark berry fills in the fruit tones. A very classic California Cab.
- Wine Enthusiast, 93 pts.
The nose offers aromas of blackcurrants, mulberries and cassia bark. The palate is full]-bodied with firm tannins, bright acidity and notes of wild blackberries, cured meat and graphite. Fresh, with a slightly bitter finish. Drink or hold.
