What the web is saying

Decoy Sonoma County Merlot is praised for its smooth, velvety texture and rich fruit flavors, including plum, cherry, and blackberry. Many appreciate its well-balanced tannins and subtle oak notes. While some find it lacks depth and complexity, others enjoy its approachable and easy-drinking nature. It's considered a good value, suitable for both casual sipping and pairing with meals.

Voss Experts4.0

This Decoy Sonoma County Merlot has a complex, inviting nose of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, baking spices, and toasty oak. The palate is full-bodied and rich, with layers of ripe dark fruit, cedar, herbs, and a hint of mocha. The tannins are soft and supple, with a long, lingering finish. A perfect choice for a special occasion, this Merlot is sure to impress.
