Tasting Note

This vibrant and alluring Merlot draws you in with fragrances of ripe raspberry, Bing cherry and red currant, as well as notions of cedar and sweet baking spice from oak aging. On the palate, velvety tannins accentuate the generous red berry and spice flavours as they flow to a long, juicy finish.

Product Notes

Decoy Limited Alexander Valley Merlot is a luxurious red wine that embodies the essence of California's prestigious wine region. Crafted by renowned winemaker Dana Epperson, this Merlot exudes sophistication and elegance with its deep ruby color and complex aromas of ripe black cherries, plums, and hints of vanilla. On the palate, layers of flavors unfold, showcasing notes of dark berries, tobacco, and a touch of cocoa. Velvety tannins and balanced acidity create a smooth, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression. Perfect for pairing with roasted meats, hearty pastas, or simply enjoyed on its own, Decoy Limited Alexander Valley Merlot is a true delight for wine enthusiasts.
