Discover Decoy Merlot:

Decoy Merlot is a full-bodied, smooth red wine from the renowned Duckhorn Vineyards in Napa Valley, California. This Merlot is a blend of grapes from the finest vineyards in the region, including the renowned To Kalon Vineyard. The wine is aged for 12 months in French oak barrels, giving it a deep, complex flavor. On the nose, Decoy Merlot has aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and cassis, with hints of mocha and toasted oak. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and smooth, with flavors of dark cherry, blackberry, and plum, complemented by notes of cocoa, vanilla, and toasted oak. The finish is long and lingering, with a hint of spice. Decoy Merlot is a great choice for pairing with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and rich, creamy cheeses.

Merlot: Origins, Flavor & Pairing Guide

View All Merlot Products →

Merlot is a popular red wine grape variety known for its smooth texture and fruit-forward flavor profile. Characterized by notes of black cherry, plum, chocolate, and raspberry, it often features aromas of blackberry, vanilla, cedar, tobacco, and green bell pepper. This medium to full-bodied wine is typically produced in renowned regions such as Bordeaux in France, California in the USA, Chile, Italy’s Tuscany region, and Australia.

The winemaking techniques for Merlot include cold maceration and fermentation in stainless steel or oak barrels to enhance its complexity. Malolactic fermentation is commonly employed to soften the wine’s tannins. Merlot pairs beautifully with grilled meats like beef and lamb, roasted vegetables, pasta with red sauce, and duck dishes. Its versatility makes it an excellent choice for casual dining occasions such as barbecues and family gatherings while appealing to both seasoned red wine enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
