I bought this at 7 Eleven to cook with, and poured a glass. It's not bad! Maybe I'll cook without it 😁

This was a rough ride, even on day 2. The internet at large gives this vintage a good score, but I found it disjointed and alcohol prominent. Maybe I'm wrong 🤷‍♂️

Perhaps a bellyful of beer would have been preferable.

This sweetheart needed a good hour to open up to me. Very nice fruit (strawberries and blackberries), spices, licorice, and tobacco leaf. Firm tannins- very good with a simple meal of grilled pork chops, asparagus, and little potatoes.

Great start to the weekend with this happy little CdP. She's got a soft ruby color with transparent, wide edges. She's got legs for days. The nose presents red fruit and cocoa. On the palette I find raspberry, rosehip, leather, and garrigue. A smooth finish with light tannins. She's a keeper!

Same with me. When it works, it’s great. But glitches pretty frequently.

I've already reviewed the 2020, so I'll keep it brief. I've been a big fan of this wine for 12 years. It is one of my go-to Italian reds when I am having friends over for a feast. And this bottle is tasting great without a feast.
Listening to Phil Keaggy. (Check out his album Beyond Nature. Phil is the greatest guitarist I've ever met, and he's one of the best in the world)

I've had Albe a number of times, and it's always been very good. This bottle is delicious, even though it is young. It's vibrant and zesty with bright cherries, cranberry, a light dusting of... dust, little mint, little tea leaf. It would be great with some cellaring, but when it tastes like this at this price, why wait? Paired beautifully with some flank steak and chimichurri.
Delectable puts it at $48 but I don't think I've ever spent that much.

Arrived in Florida this afternoon and had to grab something from Publix to go with our grilled dinner. We've all had Decoy. We all do what we have to do. After dinner I'm moving on to cold Red Stripe beer. It's hot down here!

@Pooneet K How I wish!! This Publix was very limited. I'll go find ABC tomorrow 😎

I've always appreciated that the creators of the delicious Duckhorn Sauv Blanc and Merlot call their low end mass produced versions 'Decoy'. It's such a good little joke.
Dave

@Seth Masterson I agree, and I personally think Decoy is on par with Duckhorn. Don't tell anyone I said that!
