#2 Value Wine of 2022!
Decoy began as a second label for Duckhorn in the 1980s, when founders Dan and Margaret Duckhorn saw an opportunity for a value-oriented brand. It evolved into its own stand-alone winery and was eventually joined by Migration, Goldeneye and other labels within the Duckhorn portfolio. The Limited Red 2019 is a prime example of Decoy’s approach. The wine carries a Napa Valley designation, which means at least 85% of the grapes were harvested there. That’s quite an achievement for a $30 bottle of wine, considering the price of Napa grapes. Winemaker Dana Epperson put together a blend of 58% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Malbec, with a dash of Petit Verdot and Zinfandel. She aged it 18 months in French oak barrels, 40% of them new. 32,500 cases made.
