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

overall i had a positive experience, they have a wide range of wines, some which are hard to find anywhere else - the main reason i still buy from them, plus the discounts are fair and often, but... their codes for the first offer only works at the first offer, which if fine, but then why would you send me the voucher in each package i order, why spam me on the email and every time i log in on the website? this is really bothering me... then their rewards points system is useless, first of all because you only get peanuts even after spending €250 on an order, but even those peanuts will expire if you won't order again soon, which is unfair, to say the least... and lastly, if you get a corked wine, a wine with any deffect or a wine that leaked (my last order contained a bottle of $100 Caymus Cabernet with a leaking cork, which made the wine tasted cooked and flat), they have no procedure put in place for you to replace or return the wine or to get a refund or replacement - none, which is a big no no no for any wine collector... so all in all i give it 3 stars for now
