Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon: Rich and smooth with layers of blackberry, black cherry, and mocha. Silky tannins and a hint of toasted oak create a bold yet approachable finish.

Decoy Brut Cuvée (Sparkling): Fresh and festive with hints of citrus blossom, pear, and green apple. Fine bubbles and a clean, bright finish make it ideal for celebrations or casual toasts alike.
The Decoy label was originally created by Duckhorn Vineyards in 1985 as a second label. They are more of an approachable, affordable line of wines to complement the more premium Duckhorn offerings.
Why the Name Decoy?
The name Decoy ties into Duckhorn’s theme of waterfowl and hunting culture, “Duck” is in the parent company name and decoys being carved wooden ducks used by hunters to lure in game. Symbolically, Decoy wines were designed to "lure in" wine lovers, especially by offering great quality at a more accessible price point. It is a a decoy in name, but not in quality!
Good wine, good company, great moments - that’s Decoy. Grab a bottle, pour a glass, and tag your next toast with #PourDecoy. 🍷
Look for tasting events in AZ, NorCal and SoCal. 🦆
