Description
Crafted using grapes from some of the most acclaimed Alexander Valley vineyards, including our own estate properties, this is the ultimate expression of Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon, displaying robust layers of blackberry, plum, dark chocolate and violets, with French oak-inspired hints of vanilla and spice.
DECOY
The 2022 Alexander Valley growing season was similar to 2021, with limited rainfall and warm daytime temperatures throughout summer. Cool nights allowed our Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc to retain ideal acidity, while developing vibrant tropical and citrus flavors. Our reds produced average-sized crops, leading to happy, balanced vines. Near Labor Day, we had four very hot days, which led to three busy weeks of picking. With rain in the forecast as we approached October, we made a final push to complete harvest. The overall quality of the 2022 harvest was very high, with our whites showing beautiful brightness and energetic citrus and stone fruit flavors, and our reds offering inky colors, concentrated dark berry flavors, and round, silky tannins.
