Duckhorn Decoy Merlot 2019

Sonoma County, California, United States

$34.95 (460642)

This is a rich and concentrated merlot from one of California’s biggest champions of merlot. Its plush texture and layers of juicy dark fruit make for a red with mass appeal, but there’s also winning complexity (spice and earthy notes) that add interest to the nose and palate. Drink now-2025. (90/100)

Released Oct. 8 at LCBO Vintages outlets.
