Decoy Zinfandel (75cl)

A Sonoma County red wine from Duckhorn Vineyards, bottled in a 750ml format. The Zinfandel draws fruit primarily from old vines ranging from 30 to 80 years old in Dry Creek Valley and Alexander Valley, with additional sourcing from Mendocino and the Central Coast. The blend is 86% Zinfandel, 12% Petite Sirah and 2% Carignane, aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. The nose leads with concentrated wild blueberry and ripe blackberry, followed by plum, black currant and white pepper, with deeper cedar, vanilla and a violet-like floral lift. The palate is generous with dark fruit, baking spice, nutmeg and a fennel-like herbal note, framed by silky tannins and bright acidity. The finish is medium-long, with dark chocolate, licorice and vanilla-tinged oak.
