Color: medium ruby -> diffuse light/medium ruby rim. Straightforward nose of sour cherries, a little iodine, vanilla and toast. Light palate of plums, cherries, a little weediness and red currants. Okay acidity and medium long finish with a touch of tannin. Acceptable but not burning the house down by any means.

Whoops! So sorry, just noticed this should have been for the Sonoma bottling of the Decoy. Will republish note under that heading.

- Fast forming legs and aromas of blackberry. It's balanced and has flavours of blackberry with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a medium finish.

Raspberry and a little grape. Medium fruit, medium acidity and medium tannins. Pleasant but unremarkable. Tastes like it was made for a focus group.

Not bad for a crappy bottle of wine. It was drinkable. Smooth, no heat. Not a lot of anything.

Very civilized and easy, mid-weight Bdx style Merlot/CF blend. A touch of spice to it from the Zin but mostly a right bank style.

For a wedding open bar red, I'm happy with this. Toasty, tart currants, vanilla, tasty, simple fun.

A bit tight out of the bottle, it opens nicely with ripe, red fruit and leather followed by a medium finish.
