This enticing Sonoma County wine highlights a bright, red-fruit and spice expression of Zinfandel. The aromas are ripe and appealing, offering layers of strawberry jam, raspberry and sweet vanilla, as well as hints of chocolate-covered cherries and white pepper. On the palate, the entry is full and balanced, with lovely cranberry notes supported by the subtle influence of fine oak.

WINE ENTHUSIAST RATING: 91

WINE ENTHUSIAST REVIEW: For the second year in a row, Decoy has released one of the best values in Zinfandel of the vintage. This year, Sonoma County is source to the grapes, and the wine shows classic wild berry, cola, anise, pepper and sandalwood flavors. Most remarkable is the tannic structure, which is smooth and distinguished. Easy to find, with 15,000 cases produced.
