2018 Duckhorn 'Decoy' Limited Napa Valley Red Wine

"Finally, the 2018 Duckhorn Decoy Limited Red Wine, a deep, dark, brooding magenta. A resolutely non-European blend of Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo, its crammed with violets, cherries and chocolate with - yet again - that signature brightness of aroma and flavour. And its so soft. As Mrs R said, If velvet had a smell, it would smell like that. It's a proper grown-up-dinner-party wine."
Jonathan Ray, The Spectator Magazine

Bold, luxurious, and sourced from some of Napa Valley’s most renowned vineyards ¬– including Duckhorn’s own estate properties. A plush, Merlot-dominant Bordeaux blend (with a touch of Zin put in), and alluring by its aromas of cassis, black raspberry, cherry and nutmeg. A judicious use of French oak adds nuance of clove and allspice to the delight. On the palate, full-bodied, robust, with rich, silky tannins that frame sweet cherry and lush blackberry flavours for a dark, luscious and lengthy finish.
