About This Wine


Decoy

Cabernet Sauvignon

Since 1978, they have been exploring the character and complexity of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Drawing on their winemaking team's expertise working with this varietal, Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon offers a rich and appealing expression of the varietal crafted to be ready upon release. California Cabernet is not just one note; it can be so many things. This iteration is decidedly lush and has beautiful fruit to offset the structure. Red and black fruits play off of herbs and make the perfect accompaniment to roasted meats and vegetables. This is a wine worth drinking with tonight's dinner, not for forgetting about in your cellar.

Wine Region


California

California is one of the most diverse winegrowing regions in the world. Spanning 850 miles along North America's west coast—and inland across mountains and valleys—California's American Viticultural Areas (AVAs) cover a dizzying array of terroir. The cold, deep waters of the Pacific Ocean play a major role in cooling California's vineyards, sending fog and chilly air up to 100 miles inland. This tempers the daytime heat and allows grapes to ripen slowly but fully. Cooler-climate grape varieties thrive closest to the sea, while further inland, bigger, bolder wines prevail.

Displaying the lushness and balance that defines great Cabernet Sauvignon, this inviting wine features layers of blackberry, black cherry, and blueberry, along with notes of dark chocolate and fresh spearmint. On the palate, the bright, juicy fruit flavors are framed by rich, refined tannins that carry the wine to a long, satisfying finish.
