Merchant's description

Established more than 30 years ago by legendary vintners Dan and Margaret Duckhorn, here is Decoy`s terrific 2019 red blend. The core blend for this California Red Wine pairs the elegance of Merlot with the complexity of Cabernet Sauvignon. Reflecting the character of each growing season and the diversity of its vineyard sources, Decoy has established itself as a wine of distinction, only using grapes from exceptional vineyards. This enticing wine displays gorgeous aromas of blackberry, plum, dark red fruit and cranberry, with hints of caramel and exotic spices. The luxurious berry notes are echoed on the palate, where they are supported by supple, refined tannins and an energetic mouthfeel that carries the wine to a long, lush finish.
