Tasting note

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot should combine blackcurrant and plum with a soft herbal aroma. The 2022 Decoy Limited bottling is expected to feel rounded and fruit forward, with supple tannins lending texture and fresh acidity keeping the palate balanced. Its listed peak spans 2025 through 2029 within a window to 2032; a gently savory finish should carry dark berries and spice beyond the last sip.
