Decoy

Fanciful Name: Limited

Varietal: Chardonnay

Vintage: 2022

Country of Origin: USA

Appellation: Sonoma Coast

Tasting Notes: Duckhorn continues to fine tune the Decoy portfolio with this offering. Shared winemaking expertise and great contracts and estate sourcing yield spectacular results. Stainless steel aging then light oak aging and malolactic fermentation maintains the purity of the fruit. Kiwi, lemon and butterscotch notes dominate. Light oak and balanced acidity lead to a smooth finish with a hint of eucalyptus. Great for that spring picnic, with cold grilled chicken.
