08 Feb Wednesday Tasting and possible big event on Monday!
Happy hump day to all of you! We have a big wine tasting tomorrow, but let’s taste a couple of great wines today! I have a Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon and Giesin Sauvignon Blanc from New Zeland ready to taste!
Decoy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon ($24.99) – For years now Duckhorn Vineyards has produced a Napa Valley Bordeaux Blend under the Decoy label, and Duckhorn fans have enjoyed its distinctive forward style and its first rate quality at a great price. Well the people at Duckhorn knew a good thing when they saw it, and they expanded the Decoy line into varietal wines like this lush Cabernet Sauvignon. Accessing prime grapes from vineyards throughout the Napa Valley they’ve created this value Cab that’s pure Napa and drinking beautifully right now. Of course they blended in 18% Merlot (it is Duckhorn after all) and aged it in French oak for 12 months. All for Under $25. Their latest Estate Cab release from ’07 earned 95 points,(which I am lucky to still have in stock in full and half bottles!) so you can imagine if any of that fruit contributed to Decoy, it’s a crazy value!
Giesen Sauvignon Blanc from Marlborough New Zealand ($11.99) – Has pronounced grass and herb aromas with nuances of evergreen trees, lemon slices and green apples. Medium bodied, crisp and dry with very good concentration and a long finish, this great value is a fine example of this style!
