WINE DESCRIPTION

Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon is a premium wine produced by the renowned Duckhorn Wine Company. The grapes are sourced from select vineyards in the Napa Valley appellation, known for its ideal growing conditions for Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyards feature well-draining soils and a warm climate, which allows the grapes to ripen fully and develop rich flavors. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the grapes, followed by fermentation and aging in oak barrels to enhance the wine's complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a classic Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, with bold flavors of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, balanced by firm tannins and a long, smooth finish.
