2019 Decoy Merlot Sonoma — 750ml

Discover the 2019 Decoy Merlot from Sonoma, a thoughtfully balanced red wine that captures the region’s sun-warmed fruit and subtle oak influence in a versatile, approachable bottle. This vintage offers a smooth, medium-bodied profile that’s ideal for everyday pairing and entertaining.

Tasting Notes

  • Appearance: Deep ruby with bright clarity
  • Nose: Aromas of ripe black cherry and plum mingled with a hint of vanilla and toasted spice
  • Palate: Silky tannins, integrated acidity, and flavors of dark berry fruit, cocoa, and toast
  • Finish: Medium length, with a gentle lift of spice and a lasting, fruit-driven aftertaste

Food Pairings

Its fruit-forward character and soft structure make it a natural companion to roasted chicken, grilled steak, mushroom risotto, and tomato-based pasta dishes. Try it with herb-roasted pork or a hearty bean stew for a comforting, crowd-pleasing pairing.

Why This Bottle Stands Out

Decoy’s Sonoma Merlot delivers approachable richness without overwhelming the palate. The 2019 vintage balances ripe fruit with refined tannins to create a wine that shines with simple weeknight dinners or casual get-togethers, while still holding enough depth to satisfy more discerning wine lovers in a relaxed setting.

"Since the inaugural vintage of Decoy Napa Valley red more than 20 years ago, Decoy has taken an important place in the Duckhorn Wine Company. With a reputation for delivering great quality at a reasonable price, Decoy has established a loyal following for its distinctive style, which emphasizes ready-upon-release wines that express their full charm and complexity in youth. Decoy Sonoma County Merlot is a lush and inviting wine highlighting the elegance of the Merlot variety. The grapes are sourced from the Dry Creek, Alexander, Knights and Sonoma Valleys. Lovely aromas of strawberry compote, plum and cherry wood are supported by hints of clove and cinnamon from the well-integrated oak. The red fruit continues on the palate, with layers of fresh strawberry and raspberry. Decoy Merlot is made of approximately 85% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Cabernet Franc."
