The 2018 Decoy "Blue Label" Limited Red Wine shows that well-conceived, red blends are often greater than the sum of their parts. TASTING NOTES: This wine brings ripe red fruit and savory spices to the fore. Enjoy it with braised meat dishes over fresh, al dente egg noodles. (Tasted: August 28, 2020, San Francisco, CA)-WW

Decoy's pinnacle red blend, this bold and luxurious wine combines the finest Napa Valley Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo to create an alluring and complex wine. On the palate, velvety tannins accentuate the generous fruit, with gorgeous flavors of black raspberry, cherry, cassis, briary spice, and sweet French oak lingering on the long, delectable finish. Blend: 43 Merlot, 25 Zinfandel, 24 Cabernet Sauvignon, 8 Tempranillo-Winemaker Notes

Since the inaugural vintage of our Decoy Napa Valley Red Wine 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.
The Decoy lineup now includes a Sonoma County appellation-designated Red Blend, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, as well as a California Ros, Pinot Noir and Sparkling Wine, all of which highlight Decoys commitment to producing attractively priced wines from exceptional vineyard sources.
Fruit for the Decoy program comes from a mix of Estate vineyards and top grower vineyards. From the wealth of viticultural and winemaking talent we can draw from, to our world-class cooperage program and more, Decoy benefits greatly from the remarkable resources of the Duckhorn Portfolio.-Winery Notes
