Cellar for up to 8 years. No need to decant before serving. This plush Pinot Noir from cool-climate vineyards in Sonoma County opens with bright cherry, strawberry and violet aromas. From the very first sip this accessible charmer is silky soft with gentle tannins and pure red berry, sweet molasses and cedar flavours. In accordance with Duckhorn’s typical house style, the wine spends eight months in French oak with 30% aged in new oak barrels. With its easy-going personality, the Decoy Pinot Noir is an ideal accompaniment for most duck dishes including duck a l’orange, Peking duck with plum sauce and duck confit. Other delicious pairings include seared tuna steaks or a festive roast turkey served with cranberry sauce. The vintage was blessed with a warm spring in Sonoma, leading to early bud break and a long flowering period. The harvest came early, bringing excellent quality grapes with intense concentration, fresh acidity and deep dark fruit flavours. Duckhorn Vineyards sources the grapes for this wine from partner growers with prime vineyards in Russian River Valley, Carneros and Sonoma Coast. Duckhorn’s Decoy winery crafts approachable, wallet-friendly bottles that draw on expertise accumulated over forty years of working with French varietals in Napa. All of the Decoy wines are designed to be ready to drink on release rather than requiring extensive additional cellaring, making them ideal choices for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings
