Description

Decoy was founded more than 30 years ago by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn. Decoy Limited is the top tier of the range, made as quality wines you can enjoy right away. This is the richest of the Decoy Chardonnay wines. The fruit comes from Sonoma Coast vineyards, including Decoy's own estate sites.

The 2023 vintage is 100% Chardonnay at 14.2% alcohol. It spent 10 months in French oak barrels, 35% of them new.

In the glass this radiant chardonnay opens with warm vanilla and light oak. Sweet lemon and honeysuckle brighten the nose. On the palate you'll taste brioche and creamy custard. Fresh acidity keeps all that richness lively. A sweet lemon note lingers on the finish.

The first release, the 2019, was made a little differently. It aged 12 months on its lees in 35% new French oak. Expect more nectarine, white peach, melon and butterscotch from that bottle.

Serve it chilled, around 50 to 55°F. Decoy calls it a natural partner for seafood. Roasted salmon and sage-butter chicken work well too. Hosting? Browse our spirits selection too.
