I've recently tried Duckhorn's Goldeye and thought it was fantastic. Today, I wanted to try another one of their products. The Decoy line of Zinfandel. The 2012 vintage to be exact.
Tasting Notes:
Burgundy in color with medium legs. Jammy red fruit on the nose, On the palate I would a completely sugarless raspberry. The point that it's is on the edge of being outright bitter. The acidity is quite high out of the bottle, but it burns off after a bit, though not enough to vastly improve the wine. The wine is thin lacking the body you generally expect from a big Zinfandel.
Final Thoughts:
I'm a huge fan of big fat jammy Zinfandel. I'm not a fan of this wine as it definitely is not one of those. This is however, my first Decoy wine. I really enjoy Duckhorn's Goldeneye wines. I hope other wines in the Decoy line do not disappoint as this one does.
