The parent winery, Duckhorn, almost single-handedly put California Merlot on the wine map, so it should come as no surprise that the sister winery, Decoy, has the golden touch as well. This vintage of Decoy Merlot is ripe and juicy, with delicious flavors of blackberry and plum, a hint of vanillin, and a long, supple finish.
