California Merlot from Duckhorn’s Celebrated Everyday Label
Decoy is the acclaimed everyday label from Duckhorn Vineyards, one of Napa Valley’s most respected producers. The 2023 Decoy Merlot — sourced from California’s premier coastal appellations — delivers the lush, polished style that has made Decoy one of America’s most beloved Merlots: rich dark fruit, silky tannins, and the kind of effortless drinkability that works equally well at a weeknight dinner or a special occasion.
