California Merlot, 750 ml

Established in 1985, Decoy is recognized for producing attractively priced wines from exceptional vineyard sources, including Decoy's own Ridgeline and Brownell estate vineyards in the Alexander Valley of Sonoma County. The Decoy lineup includes a Red Blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as a Rosé and Brut Cuvée. Decoy's winemaking program is guided by acclaimed Winemaker Dana Epperson, who is an expert at working with multiple grape varieties across multiple regions. In 2020, Decoy unveiled Decoy Limited, a tier of Limited-production wines made from special lots sourced from California's most prestigious wine regions, and in 2021, the winery launched Decoy Premium Seltzer. Featuring four refined and refreshing seltzers made using Decoy's acclaimed wines, sparkling water and tantalizing fruit flavors, Decoy Premium Seltzers are the first premium varietal, wine-based seltzers in the market.

Sourced from premium vineyards throughout Sonoma County, Central Coast and Mendocino County, our Merlot is lush and inviting, displaying enticing berry and cassis aromas. The layers of luxurious fruit continue on the palate, where lively acidity adds poise and structure, and silky tannins carry the wine to a long, juicy finish. Aged for 12 months in 100% French oak; 35% new French oak, this Merlot pairs well with Grilled Lamb, Beef, Duck, Wild Rice, Aged Cheddar or Rosemary.
