Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon (750Ml)

Decoy California Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the winery Dan and Margaret Duckhorn set up more than 30 years ago. It is a Cabernet Sauvignon with a small share of Merlot. The 2022 vintage, for example, is 94% Cabernet and 6% Merlot. The grapes come from California vineyards, including Decoy's own estate properties.

For the 2022 wine, the team aged it for 18 months in French oak barrels. About 40% of those barrels were new. It is bottled at 13.9% alcohol. The blend and oak can shift a little from one vintage to the next.

Pour a glass and you get dark cherry, raspberry and baking spice. A hint of cola and subtle toasty oak follow. On the palate, juicy blackberry takes the lead. Silky tannins, medium oak and bright acidity keep it lively. The texture is smooth and creamy, and the finish is long and balanced.

This is an easy red to open on a weeknight or for friends at dinner. It loves hearty food. Try it with roast beef, beef tenderloin, a slow-cooked ragu or a grilled steak. Lamb, mushroom risotto and hard cheeses work well too.

If you want an approachable California Cabernet with real structure, this bottle is a good place to start. Explore the rest of the wine selection when you want something to pour beside it.
