Let's taste some Decoy Wines

Details

The first Decoy Red Blend was made at Duckhorn Vineyards in 1985. This exceptional wine quickly established a loyal following for its quality and distinctive style. In 2008, Decoy evolved from being a single, second-label wine supporting the Duckhorn Vineyards brand to being its own focused winery. Grapes for the Decoy line of wines come from a mix of Estate vineyards and top independent growers. Today, in addition to the original Decoy Red, the Decoy lineup includes a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc—all of which are Sonoma County appellation-designated and highlight Decoy’s commitment to producing attractively priced wines made from exceptional vineyard sources with an emphasis on ready-upon-release wines that are capable of expressing their full charm and complexity.

We will get to try Sauvignon Blanc; Chardonnay; Pinot Noir & Cabernet Sauvignon

Decoy Sonoma County Sauvignon Blanc

This enticing wine offers vivid flavors of pink grapefruit and white peach, as well as lovely notes of lemon zest and citrus blossom. On the palate, refreshing acidity mingles with a subtle undercurrent of sweet fruit that carries through to a bright and lively finish.

Decoy Sonoma County Chardonnay
2018 | Sonoma County, CA | 100% Chardonnay
You can’t go wrong with a good quality Chardonnay, and the fruity/floral notes and very subtle hint of warm spice in Decoy’s Sonoma County Chardonnay is lovely!This deliciously bright and inviting Chardonnay offers layers of apricot, citrus and green apple, as well as hints of fresh honeysuckle and cinnamon. On the palate, the lovely pure fruit flavors are underscored by delicate acidity and a supple richness from sur lie aging.

Decoy Sonoma County Pinot Noir
2017 | Sonoma County |100% Pinot Noir
Showcasing the vibrant allure of great cool-climate Sonoma County Pinot Noir, this wine displays aromas of strawberry, cranberry and plum that rise from the glass, along with oak-inspired hints of vanilla. The palate is soft and silky, with ripe berry flavors underscored by supple tannins that carry the wine to a bright, focused finish.

Decoy Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon
2017 | Sonoma County, CA | 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 3% Zinfandel, 1% Petit Verdot, 1% Petite Sirah;
From its deep, inviting color to its enticing layers of boysenberry, blackberry, plum and star anise, this wine showcases what we love about great Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon. On the palate, the lush fruit flavors are framed by rich tannins and hints of dark chocolate and barrel spice.
As always, the tasting is free.
