2025 Decoy Limited North Coast Sauvignon Blanc
Established more than 30 years ago by legendary vintners Dan and Margaret Duckhorn, our roots run deep at Decoy. From vine to bottle, we craft our wines to the highest standards, only using grapes from exceptional vineyards, including from our own estate properties.
The 2025 growing season began with a relatively wet winter, which supported healthy vine growth, strong root development, and an average bud break occurring in the first two weeks of April. The remainder of the season was consistently warm, followed by a gradual cooling beginning in July. Cooler late-season conditions promoted earlier-than-normal flavor development, alongside an above-average crop size across most varietals. This allowed us to harvest at lower sugar levels than is typical, a positive outcome given the late-season rain events that ultimately limited harvest activity in October. Overall, the vintage shows excellent promise, with notably concentrated red wines, particularly Pinot Noir, and very clean, aromatic white wines.
