Duckhorn’s second label, Decoy seldom approaches the level of excellence the big dog achieves on a regular basis, but that’s not a knock. The Decoy wines are superb and are a fraction of the price. This red blend is heavy on the Merlot (52 percent) and shows it, with a smooth, supple palate and seductive aromas of blueberry, boysenberry and cassis. Well balanced, it finishes with a touch of wood spice. It’s both delicious and affordable.
