Decoy Sonoma County Red Wine 2016 Review
This is the wine you buy that tastes really nice and smooth and has no separation of character because it was manipulated in a way that ensures it is consistent from vintage to vintage. It has spice, it has vanilla, it has silky tannins, it’s soft on the palate and is actually surprisingly low in alcohol, which means that all of these characteristics are comfy and easy. It’s a good wine. It’s not complex or mind blowing, but it's a good wine.
