This wine is made mainly from vineyards in the slightly warmer areas of the northern Russian River Valley, including Monterey, Lake, and Mendocino, and has a California-like flavor. Modeled after Duckhorn's Sauvignon Blanc, which has been made for nearly 20 years and has become a staple product, this wine does not use any barrels and retains a strong aroma of lemon peel and grass. It has a well-balanced and refreshing finish.
Duckhorn Vineyards has been producing Sauvignon Blanc in Napa Valley since 1982.
This Decoy Sauvignon Blanc was created using grapes from other famous California wine-growing regions, drawing on the brand's long experience to express the charm of this variety from a different angle.
Vintage Information
Thanks to abundant rainfall in winter and spring, buds sprouted more than a week earlier than normal. Warm weather and low yields from late July to early August accelerated ripening in many areas. Harvesting began in early August with Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Pinot Noir. When the heatwave arrived in early September, careful attention was paid to harvesting at the ideal ripeness for each region. A little rain in late September allowed for a slight cooling, and all harvests were completed by late October. The white wines were vibrant with fruit, and the reds were luxurious with a firm structure, resulting in excellent wines.
Tasting Comments
A bright, lively Sauvignon Blanc with captivating aromas of gooseberry, passion fruit, sweet lime and mango. In the mouth, a nice minerality supports the citrus and tropical fruit flavors leading to a long, refreshing finish.
