Natalie's Review

Decoy Pinot Noir 2017, Sonoma County, California, United States: The Decoy range of wines, now being made for more than two decades and I am still loving their second-label Decoy (2017) Pinot Noir from Sonoma County, California. Warming at 14% abv this Pinot Noir is lush and elegant with ripe red berry, blueberry and black fruit, savoury and pepper spice to support the alcohol. Full-bodied, round and mouth-watering with a smoky dark cherry finish. Pair it with duck confit, roasted sweet onion and little potatoes. Drink: 2019-2024. 191833 13.90% D 750 mL $37.95 Score: 91/100. May 15, 2019 Top Rated Red Wine. Delightful Duck Wine Full Review
