Reviews

This vibrant Pinot Noir embodies its cool-climate roots with enticing aromas of wild strawberry, Bing cherry, and plum, as well as subtle undertones of dried herb, forest floor, sweet vanilla, and baking spices. On the palate, the lush red berry flavors are framed by smooth, refined tannins and a silky texture, with a tantalizing hint of bright acidity lingering on the long, focused finish.

100% Pinot Noir grape blend.

The Estate

Since the inaugural vintage of our Decoy Napa Valley Red Wine almost a quarter century ago, Decoy has taken an important place in the Duckhorn Wine Company family 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 supporting brand for the entire Duckhorn Wine Company portfolio.

Wine Making

To benefit from the diversity of Decoy’s great fruit sources, Dana and her team do as many as 150 individual fermentations each vintage with many lots as small as 5 tons. From there, hands on practices like open-top punch downs and lees stirring are applied.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with beef, poultry, veal, deer, and venison.

"This nicely balanced and medium-bodied wine checks the boxes for a very good Pinot Noir with its red and black cherries, light tannins and hints of cinnamon and black tea."
