2016 Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon Wine Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 тра 2019
- As I have run into fellow wine lovers, I hear about many wines that tends to be brought up as "my favorite" or "always a solid choice." Decoy has been a name that I have heard many times but is always outside of my $15 price range. Well, I'm bending the rules today and sold off some plasma to get those extra $3. Here is are my thoughts on the 2016 Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon.
►Vintage: 2016
►Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
►Region: Sonoma, California
►ABV: 13.9%
►Price: $18

I've heard that this wine is very good, thank you for reviewing it.
Freddie Slaughter their Merlot is fantastic! Salud! 🍷
Love Decoy, that’s a great Cab! 🍷😋
I think Decoy is a fantastic brand. I’m not an every day wine drinker, but when I buy wine it’s Decoy. I had Duckhorn in the past and for me they are arguably the best winemaker in The U.S. but I’m not spending 50-100 on a bottle of wine lmao.. not when I can get the best bourbon my home state of Kentucky has to offer at the same price. But I’ll get a bottle of Decoy Cabernet and it’s world class
Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the wines that I buy to bring to parties if I'm not sure if folks like wine or not. It's consistently good and easy to find. I've never had a Duckhorn but it's on my list of "splurge" wines to try. I hear you on the Bourbon though. From time to time, I too would prefer to spend money on a good Bourbon or Rye over a super expensive bottle of wine.
Its $30 CAD here but I got it on sale today for $24 still expensive. Excited to try it
Yeah, that's a bit expensive but it's not a bad wine. Let me know if you liked it!
Hey, Stuart ! So glad to see you did a review on Decoy wine as it is the most expensive wine at the local Cash Saver here in OKC, and I've been wondering just how good it really is (didn't want to spend the $20 is costs !). Still loving my Winking Owl brand wine from Aldis, though. At only $3 a bottle it is by far the best bang for your buck. Looking forward to a review from you on Winking Owl someday if the Aldis near you ever opens up !! Have a wonderful 4th !!
I totally get that feeling of not wanting to splurge in case something is bad so I'm glad that I could help! I really wish the Aldi they planned in my city would open up soon. I'm very interested to try some stuff that folks are recommending there.
Get it.. it’s the beat $20 Cabernet you’ll find. Period
Going to splurge a whole $18 that’s how much I love you hun 😂😂😂😂 oh my god I’m dead laughing. Always great seeing your videos
Thanks! I think you'll like it.
Hi. Great review. Can you also try the decoy limited napa valley one? Thanks.
I added it to my list. I'll see if I can find it.
@@WineOnTheDime Great! Ty so much!
I tried either the 2018 or 2019 Decoy Cab and thought it was a generation X type red loaded with fruit forwardness which I HATE in a Cab. If I could recommend an awesome CAb that runs around $20 it would be the 2017 Buck Shack Cab (not the one in Bourbon).
THANK YOU for specifying the non-bourbon one...
You prefer old world cab but Paso Robles grapes are fruity with the classic hints of traditional cabs
@@nato9157 Perhaps you are right but I am really picky on my red wines. I have been like this from the very first time I went to the Napa Valley around 20+
years ago
Want a great $20 range bottle of Cab? Go with the Hess Allomi. Will kick this Decoy's ass any day with none of that fruit forward, millennial Prisoner type of approach.
@@chrisginoc I'll add it to my "splurge" list for the channel. It's always hit and miss when folks recommend stuff but I like to try to include recommendations when given the chance. Thanks!
Wow, Stuart, I wish I had your nose! Cannot believe how many different smells you are able to determine.
Thanks! I was really bad when I first got into wine. What you see is 8 years of practice in trying to pick stuff out. Even now, I'm not as good as some people I do practice tasting with. Picking out the different flowers, certain off-veg (tomato for example) can still be pretty difficult for me. There are some people that are really natural at it, but I have to practice. However, if I can do it, then anyone can with enough practice.
Good wine review. I wonder how long it was aged to get the vanilla and butter notes...
Wife and I are headed for a weekend in Walla Walla for spring release wine tasting. Looking to secure some unique and flavorful wines.
Have a great weekend. Plus one for corked wines....😉😉
I don't know now a days. I saw a video the other day where some winery was able to make a clean process that gives wine a few years of oxidative characteristic after a few weeks. I'd love to start getting some more complex wines sooner. Have fun on your trip!
You cant fake time, no matter what they say thats half assing it. You either do it right or fuck off and dont do it at all.@@WineOnTheDime
I just got a bottle of this Decoy but the Merlot version and a Bevmologist at Bevmo really recommended me this stuff.
Nice! I haven't had the Merlot yet. Anything noticeably good about it?
@@WineOnTheDime I am gonna try it this Friday, i already got it chilling in the Fridge : ) I did also pick a bottle of Agitator, Caymus, Duckhorn, 1850 Napa Cabernet...its gonna be a good weekend : )
@@Crimson_626 Holy crap! I might be coming over this weekend...
@@WineOnTheDime Yah come on over and bring some HOT babes!!!
*Looks up how to find hot women...
Oooh. I used to see Decoy all the time at the wine distributor I used to work for, but I never picked it up. Always was out of my price range too. The '14 is almost three times as expensive here in Philippines. 😅
Holy crap that's expensive! It's crazy how much market influences and laws can change prices.
Dude that wine is damn good but down here in Florida it’s 25 bucks at cvs and Walgreens!
Those places way overcharge and they have a weird gimmick to get your personal info. They were selling a bottle of Yellowtail Chardonnay for $12 or for $8 if you have one of their "club" cards.
bwcastillo try Costco! Around $15
New sub:) top 3 to 5 wines?
I like red medium to full bodied
Not dry not too sweet
How much do you want to spend per bottle?
@@WineOnTheDime $15 or under im in Canada
Since I'm not familiar with any specific Canadian wine retailers and can't check which wineries are in stock, I'm going to give you a few areas and varietals to try since they can probably be found around your price point.
South America
-Chile: Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, and Pinot Noir
-Argentina: Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon
Europe
-France: Right (Merlot dominant) or left (Cabernet Sauvignon dominant) *Bordeaux blends, Gamay (Beaujolais), Southern Rhone Blends (Grenache/Syrah/Mourvedre) (*Bordeaux can be pricey, but there are still some good introductions to the area around your price point.)
-Portugal: Red blends, Touriga Nacional
-Spain: Rioja blends, Tempranillo, Garnacha, Bobal
-Italy: Chianti, Chianti Classico, Primitivo, IGT wines, Super Tuscans, Nero D'Avola
Oceania
-Australia: Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon
-New Zealand: Merlot, Pinot Noir
United States
-Washington: Walla Walla, Yakima, Columbia Valley reds (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir)
-Oregon: Willamette Valley (Mostly Merlot or Pinot Noir)
-California: North Coast reds (Mostly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon)
I hope this helps.
@@WineOnTheDime wow thank u!!
Good with pizza ?
Oh hell yeah!
I've tried that wine and it is just average
So this wine is not worth $18.00?
So, I have not been a fan of the last few releases of major California Cab producers at the sub-$20 for 3 or so years. I don't think that California Cabernet has the balance I like compared to Washington, South America, and France. However, this is a Cab that I would buy again because it's not bad but I feel like it has less "off the shelf" complexity than something like the Educated Guess Cabernet. I know a ton of folks that love it, so it's worth a try at the minimum.
I didn't like it at all. Will not buy again.
I wasn't impressed by Decoy. Don't get me wrong, I drank the whole bottle, lol, but I've had better wine for the same price range.
There's a wine called Radius, highly recommend that over this.
I did do the Radius Merlot. ua-cam.com/video/Vn4j5RIxJsA/v-deo.html Do they have a Cabernet Sauvignon at Total Wine Now?
@@WineOnTheDime yeah Radius has had a cab for a long time now.
I'll need to find it!
I lost all respect when he said it was buttery.
My wife also lost respect for me when I told her that is how I describe my body as well. Buttery with rolls...
Wine is wine it makes you drunk and gives you the worst head ache of all
Dehydration and loss of electrolytes is what causes hangovers. However, some people don't detect the alcohol in wine and can drink more than they thought they did, which can lead to some pretty bad headaches in the morning. I have a friend like that and he gave up wine for whiskey.
@@WineOnTheDime I usually trying to drink water but that's when I'm drinking whiskey. If it's beer or wine I often neglect drinking water and I get myself in trouble
Meh, lame review
Thanks!
@@WineOnTheDime perfect reaction 😂
