2023 Decoy California Sauvignon Blanc
Uno November - 2025
This is not the first vintage we have sampled from Decoy, which is a secondary label of Duckhorn Vineyards, But, like two previous vintages of their Sauvignon Blanc, it is a big, lush and juicy wine with an enveloping presence. We paired it with an end of the season, steamed artichoke, and a shrimp and avocado salad.
The flavors abound with the presence of green apple, Myer lemon, and melon, rounded out with a bright and crisp citrus rush at the end. The wine is bursting with flavor, and begs for another sip! The alcohol content is 14.1%. and Norm's score is 90.
Th1s Sauvignon Blanc is a winner in the under twenty price range, and an excellent choice for most seafood and fowl dishes. It would also make a good companion for Fettucine Alfredo as well.
score: 90
price : $16 - $21
Now, that's just the way I see it, and you can tell them I said so!
Here's looking at you Kid!
