Decoy Merlot 2022

Style: Merlot
Winery: Decoy by Duckhorn Vineyards
Vineyard Location: Sourced from premier vineyards across California
Alcohol: 14.1% ABV

Description:
The 2022 Decoy Merlot is a vibrant and approachable expression of one of California’s most beloved varietals, crafted with Duckhorn’s signature dedication to quality. This vintage showcases the plush, fruit-forward style that makes Merlot so versatile and crowd-pleasing.

Aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and raspberry rise from the glass, layered with hints of mocha, vanilla, and subtle toasted oak. On the palate, it’s silky and well-rounded, with soft tannins and juicy dark fruit flavors that carry through to a smooth, lingering finish. A touch of Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure and depth, enhancing the wine’s balance and ageability.

Pairing Suggestions:
An excellent companion to grilled lamb, roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or herb-crusted pork tenderloin. It also pairs beautifully with aged cheddar or mushroom-based dishes.
