Natalie's Score: 91/100

Decoy 2022 Merlot is a dry, medium-plus-bodied and richly layered 100% Merlot with grapes sourced from Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Mendocino County, Russian River Valley and Los Carneros wine regions. Fragrant with pink florals, violets, black cherry, plum, dark chocolate and smoky, toasty oak flavours, this vintage lingers on a minty and spicy note, balanced with vibrant acidity and velvety smooth tannins. Enjoy it through 2027.

Merlot food pairings: borscht (beet soup), quesadillas, Tandoori-flavored dishes, lentil dishes.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
