Decoy's Reserve Tier
Decoy has been Duckhorn's second label since 1985, when Dan and Margaret Duckhorn founded the winery in St. Helena. Decoy Limited sits above the regular Decoy line — a reserve tier drawn from the most acclaimed vineyards in each appellation. For the Sonoma Coast pinot, that means cool-climate fruit from three of the coast's signature zones, fermented in small open-top batches and raised in French oak.

Tasting Notes
Cool-climate Sonoma Coast pinot noir: bright red cherry and cranberry fruit with savory coastal spice, silky tannins, and a lift of French-oak vanilla. Medium-bodied and food-friendly, with the freshness that defines the 2019 vintage on the Sonoma Coast.
How to Enjoy
Serve at 60–65°F — a brief decant opens it up. A natural partner for roast duck, mushroom risotto, grilled salmon, or a simple roast chicken.
