Description

Decoy was founded by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn in 1985 as the second wine of their Duckhorn Estate. In 2005 Decoy became an Estate in its own right, with its own vineyards supported by fruit bought from long standing grower suppliers.

In 2020 Decoy released the first of their Limited wines being the apogee of the Estate’s wines.

Decoy’s Limited Merlot is sourced from the Alexander Valley, a blend of 86% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 3% Syrah, 2% Malbec. Aged for 14 months in 40% new French oak and older neutral barrels.

This vibrant Merlot offers fragrances of ripe raspberry, black cherry and red currant, with notes of cedar and baking spice, and velvet generous palate of red berries and spice with soft tannins and a long finish.
