The 2017 growing season began with generous winter rains, followed by a spring and summer marked by moderate temperatures and abundant sunshine. Like several recent vintages, the 2016 harvest came early, delivering exquisite quality grapes. After the modest size crop of 2015, 2016 saw a welcome return to average yields.

A beautiful example of a cocktail-styled white wine, the fresh and easy-to-drink 2016 Decoy Sauvignon Blanc offers pleasing ripe melon, core fruit, and dried herbs in its aromas and flavors. The wine's soft, yet crisp finish appeals to both experienced and novice wine drinkers.
