2019 Decoy Red

2019 Decoy Red
#21-2022

A beautiful blend, featuring Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Zinfandel, the 2019 Decoy Red from Duckhorn was an excellent companion for our Italian Steak and Pasta dinner!  This one might be described as a "Field Blend" since there are at least six varieties in the mix, and the result is quite tasty.

This wine has so many flavor nuances, that all would be hard to list.  Suffice it to say that the complex structure is highlighted by the presence of both red and black berries and a subtle but toasty finish which lingers on the palate.  The alcohol content is 13.9%, and Norm's score is 89.

Italian Steak is merely a grilled steak which has been marinated in Italian spices and served with a side of Pasta Marinara, but with the addition of the right wine, it can make for quite an Italian Feast!  Oh, and I forgot to mention, "the right "Grill Chef".

score: 89
price: $19 - $25
