Decoy Merlot 2021

Decoy is the second label of Duckhorn, a Napa merlot specialist. It is a very appealing, soft but not thick or gooey example with very pretty aromas of raspberry, rose, fine herbs and subtle oak spice. It is medium weight, just a touch sweet, and very smooth with super-fine tannin. The length is very good to excellent. Chill just a little. A crowd pleaser. Tasted Dec 2023. Score – 91.
