Decoy Chardonnay, hailing from the esteemed Sonoma County, is a testament to the region’s prowess in producing Chardonnays with a distinctive character. This particular limited edition encapsulates the quintessential attributes of Sonoma Chardonnays, showcasing a harmonious blend of fruit-forwardness and refined oak influence.
On the nose, one can anticipate an inviting bouquet that marries ripe pear and apple notes with subtle hints of citrus zest. This aromatic profile is elegantly complemented by an undercurrent of toasted almond and vanilla nuances derived from careful aging in oak barrels—a technique that imparts complexity without overshadowing the grape’s natural vibrancy.
The palate reveals a wine that strikes a balance between richness and acidity. The creamy texture is punctuated by flavors reminiscent of stone fruits and baked lemon tart, while maintaining a crispness that keeps each sip refreshing. The use of malolactic fermentation softens the wine’s acidity, adding layers of buttery smoothness to its profile.
