2000 Duckhorn Decoy “Migration” Napa Valley Red Wine - A very dark black-purple color. Initially a lot of spicy oak on the nose, but that gave way to a perfumed, sweet black fruit, with some bell pepper and raspberry. Flavors of sweet black fruit, a little blackberry, coffee, and oak. The tannins are on the firm side. The finish is of medium length, and seemed a little hot as well. This was kind of a weird wine. It got less oaky on the nose with air time, however it appeared to get more oaky on the palate as the night went on. Quite disjointed, and not entirely sure if it will come together. A blend of 57% Cab Franc, 23% Petit Verdot, and 20% Merlot.
