Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of Decoy Pinot Noir wraps you in a silky embrace, its vibrant cherry and raspberry notes unfolding with a whisper of baking spice and a hint of forest floor. Crafted in the United States, this expressive red balances bright acidity with supple tannins, making it an inviting companion for rich salmon or earthy mushroom risotto. With an alcohol by volume of 13.9%, Decoy Pinot Noir delivers both elegance and approachability, capturing the essence of California’s cool-climate vineyards in every glass.
