Tasting - Decoy Merlot

Name: Decoy
Variety: Merlot
Region: Sonoma County
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $20.95

Winery Review: 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. Bright acid lengthens the finish, which concludes with soft, mature tannins.

My Review: I have not had that many Merlots but I really enjoyed this wine. It had a bold and fruity nose. It was fairly dry on the palate but a very smooth finish. It was full of dark cherries and plums with spices in the background. I think this wine is a little pricy for what it is but a decent wine.
I did not taste this wine with food.
