On the palate, flavors of sarsaparilla, allspice and bittersweet chocolate are underscored by a restrained style and taste that is classically Decoy. This single appellation wine is aged in French oak barrels, highlighting the depth, complexity, and spice true to this powerful region.\u003cbr\u003e\nProduction\u003cbr\u003e\nThe 2022 growing season began with near-normal rainfall in January, with below-average precipitation the remainder of the season. The continued drought conditions led to an early budbreak, followed by a cool and windy spring that led to a lighter fruit set. Summer provided ideal ripening conditions with average temperatures in the 90s throughout August. A well-predicted September heat event was mitigated by proactive irrigation and an atypical harvest rain that cooled the vines and soils. The resulting Bordeaux-varietal wines are showing beautiful varietal character, depth and finesse, with the small berries providing excellent color, concentration and structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWine Specs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eVintage\u003cbr\u003e\n2022\u003cbr\u003e\nVarietal\u003cbr\u003e\nCabernet Sauvignon\u003cbr\u003e\nAppellation\u003cbr\u003e\nPaso Robles\u003cbr\u003e\nAcid\u003cbr\u003e\n0.56 g\/100 ml\u003cbr\u003e\npH\u003cbr\u003e\n3.68\u003cbr\u003e\nAging\u003cbr\u003e\nAged in French oak barrels for 18 months 35% new, 65% neutral\u003cbr\u003e\nAlcohol %\u003cbr\u003e\n14.5\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Decoy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47621835096288,"sku":"129871","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0649\/9713\/0464\/files\/decoy-limited-cabernet-sauvignon-paso-robles_1.jpg?v=1753908975","url":"https:\/\/www.mywineconnection.com\/products\/decoy-limited-cabernet-sauvignon-paso-robles-2022-750ml","provider":"My Wine Connection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
