Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot
Winemaker Notes
This lush and alluring wine reveals layers of black cherry, ripe plum, cranberry and tapenade, with oak-inspired hints of nutmeg, vanilla and cardamom. On the palate, the generous berry flavors are accentuated by silky, mouthcoating tannins, with juicy acidity adding poise and energy to a long, satisfying finish.
"Since the inaugural vintage more than a quarter century ago, Decoy has taken an important place in the Duckhorn Portfolio of wines. With a reputation for delivering great quality at a remarkable price, Decoy has established a loyal following for its distinctive style, which emphasizes ready-upon-release wines that are capable of expressing their full charm and complexity in their youth. Building on this foundation, Decoy has evolved from being a single wine that supported the Duckhorn Vineyards brand to being a renowned winery in its own right. Today, in addition to the Decoy Red, the Decoy lineup includes a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and highlight Decoy’s commitment to producing attractively priced wines made from exceptional vineyard sources."
