Decoy Wines Description
Nestled in the renowned Alexander Valley of Sonoma County, Decoy Wines has been a beacon of vinicultural excellence since its inception in 1985. The winery’s foundation is firmly planted in the fertile soils of this prestigious wine-growing region, known for its unique climate and geographical attributes that are ideal for vine cultivation. The choice of location was strategic, aimed at harnessing the natural potential of the area to produce grapes of the highest quality.
The cornerstone vineyards of Decoy, Ridgeline and Brownell, were integrated into the winery’s portfolio in 2012 and 2013, respectively. These vineyards are not only cherished for their scenic beauty but also for the distinctive characteristics they impart to the grapes. The topography, soil composition, and microclimates of these sites contribute to the nuanced flavors and aromas that are signature to Decoy wines. This terroir-driven approach ensures that each bottle of Decoy wine is a true reflection of its origin, embodying the essence of the vineyard from which it was born.
Sustainability is woven into the fabric of Decoy’s farming practices. With a profound respect for nature and a commitment to the future, the winery employs environmentally conscious methods in its vineyards. These practices include water conservation, use of organic materials, and fostering biodiversity, ensuring that the land remains healthy and productive for generations to come. This dedication to sustainable farming not only preserves the ecosystem but also enhances the quality of the grapes, resulting in wines that are pure, vibrant, and expressive.
Under the expert guidance of Winemaker Dana Epperson, Decoy has cultivated an expansive range of wines, each meticulously crafted to showcase the varietal’s best characteristics. The winery’s portfolio is a testament to its versatility and commitment to quality. The Red Blend is a harmonious symphony of flavors, the Cabernet Sauvignon is a bold expression of strength and elegance, and the Merlot offers a silky and complex profile. The Zinfandel bursts with spicy and fruity notes, while the Pinot Noir is celebrated for its subtle grace and depth. For those who favor whites, Decoy’s Chardonnay is a study in balance and sophistication, the Sauvignon Blanc is a refreshing dance of crispness and aroma, and the Rosé is a delicate allure of finesse. Not to be overlooked, the Brut Cuvée offers a celebratory sparkle, capturing the essence of special moments in each bubble.
