Decoy California Merlot 2018

90 Points, Wine Enthusiast: Designated Editor's Choice. "This is a French oak-aged, plush and approachable red made from a handful of Sonoma County appellations. Leather, earth, clove and toasted oak accent a core of black cherry, cranberry and plum, with a lasting note of chocolate on the finish." Mar 2021

Winery: "For more than four decades, Duckhorn Vineyards has been crafting exceptional Napa Valley Merlot reflecting the rich diversity of the valley’s many appellations. Drawing on our winemaking team’s expertise working with this varietal, Decoy Sonoma County Merlot is a lush and inviting wine highlighting the elegance of the varietal from another exceptional growing region.

This lush and inviting Merlot displays enticing aromas of blueberry, raspberry and cassis, underscored by a French oak-inspired hint of cocoa. The layers of luxurious fruit continue on the palate, where lively acidity adds poise and structure, and silky tannins carry the wine to a long, juicy finish."
