Decoy California Merlot is an impressive example of the passion and skill of the Duckhorn Portfolio team, founded over 30 years ago by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn. With deep roots in the Californian wine world, Decoy today stands for wines of the highest quality that combine the elegance of the grape varieties and the diversity of outstanding sites.
The cuvée consists of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon and expresses the classic finesse of the grape variety. On the nose, the wine develops opulent aromas of black cherry, ripe boysenberry and sweet baking spices, accompanied by subtle nuances of leather, black olives and cardamom. It is balanced and supple on the palate, with juicy fruit expression, silky tannins and subtle spice. The finish is long, characterized by dark cherry and fine spicy notes.
The wine owes its special depth to careful ageing: 12 months in French oak, 40% of which is in new barrels and 60% in neutral barrels. This gives it structure and complexity without pushing the fruit into the background.
The Decoy Merlot is a versatile companion that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with dishes such as braised beef, grilled lamb or spicy mushroom ragouts. A Californian with a clear signature and great enjoyment value.
