Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

California Cabernet in the Duckhorn style — structured, generous, and made for the table.

Decoy is Duckhorn Wine Company's California label, and the Cabernet Sauvignon is its anchor — a wine that draws from premium California vineyards and applies the same winemaking discipline that defines the Duckhorn portfolio. The 2022 vintage delivered exceptional ripeness and balance across the state, producing a Cabernet that is opulent and beautifully structured without sacrificing freshness.

Tasting Notes
Rich blackberry and blueberry on the nose, with hints of baking spice and black pepper adding complexity. Full-bodied and fruit-forward on the palate, with firm tannins that provide structure without austerity. The fruit is generous and layered — the kind of Cabernet that works as well at a dinner party as it does on a quiet evening.

The Finish
Bold and smooth, with a touch of dark spice on the close. Approachable now, with the structure to reward a year or two of patience.
