Tasting Notes

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. The lush Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon from the Sonoma Valley appellation is created the with the same care and attention as their Napa Estate wines at a price hard to turn down. Prime grapes from vineyards in Sonoma County create this value Cab that's pure Duckhorn and drinking beautifully right now. 2018 was another excellent vintage in Sonoma and offered beautifully ripe fruit. This is a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 4% Zinfandel, 2% Petite Syrah, 2% Syrah and 1% Petit Verdot, aged in 40% new French oak for 10 months.

"Produced by the Duckhorn Wine Company, a rich and generous Cabernet Sauvignon-driven red blend with some Merlot, Zinfandel, Petit Verdot and Petite Sirah sourced from vineyards in Sonoma County, California. Medium- to full-bodied with aromas of dark fruit, grilled fine herbs, spicy and smoky on the palate. Pair with chicken mole or dark chocolate studded with dried red berry fruit."

The Producer

Duckhorn

Founded by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn in 1976, Duckhorn Vineyards has been crafting classic Napa Valley wines for nearly 40 years. This winemaking tradition has grown to include seven meticulously farmed Estate vineyards, located throughout the various microclimates of the Napa Valley. Focused on quality and consistency, these Estate vineyards are an essential element in making wines of distinction. Pioneering and perfecting Merlot as a premium varietal, Duckhorn Vineyards now makes several elegant Merlot and distinctive Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings that showcase its premium vineyard sites. Duckhorn Vineyards has been named one of the “Top 100 Wineries” in the world seven times by Wine & Spirits, and the 2014 Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot Three Palms Vineyard was named the “2017 Wine of the Year,” topping Wine Spectator’s annual list of the world’s “Top 100 Wines.” The Duckhorn Vineyards winemaking program is led by acclaimed Winemaker Renée Ary, who is only the fourth winemaker in the winery’s storied history.
