The 2021 Decoy Pinot Noir is flavorful and nicely balanced. This wine excels with aromas and flavors of savory spices and perky red fruits. Try it with brown sugar and mustard-glazed baked salmon fillets.

With fine-grained tannins and elevated acidity, this Pinot Noir is a friendly daily drinker. Notes of red and black cherry, boysenberry, red currant, damp forest floor, violets and roses are complemented by subtle oak tones of anise, nutmeg and toast. 

Tasting Notes

This lush and alluring Pinot Noir draws you in with aromas of black cherry, wild strawberry, red currant, black tea and sage, as well as rustic hints of earthy forest floor. On the palate, the generous ripe berry flavors are framed by bright, balanced acidity and refined tannins that carry the wine to a long, silky finish.
