Winemaker Description
Decoy Limited represents the elevated tier of the Decoy lineup — where the standard Decoy Chardonnay draws from across California, the Limited label focuses strictly on the cooler maritime vineyards of the Sonoma Coast, delivering more precision, depth, and structural complexity. The 2024 growing season brought a cool, wet winter and moderate spring, with harvest beginning mid-September. Strategic leafing and crop adjustments yielded white wines with fresh aromatics and lively acidity.
Food Pairings
Dungeness crab with drawn butter, lobster rolls, seared scallops, roasted chicken with cream-and-mushroom sauce, Fettuccine Alfredo, roasted squash with sage butter, and truffle mushroom risotto.

Capturing the purity and polish of the finest Sonoma Coast Chardonnays, this wine draws you in with luxurious aromas of ripe Meyer lemon, butterscotch, sweet white peach, tangerine and light oak spice. On the palate, smooth, round tannins and an ideal balance between oak and acidity frame the lush tropical and stone fruit flavors while carrying the wine to a long, delicious finish. Winemaker notes
(Vintage 2022) James Suckling 92 Points | Lots of matchstick with steel, dried apples and some Meyer lime. Medium body, with lots of flinty and intense flavors. Gunpowder. Grows on the palate. Fascinating wine.
(Vintage 2021) 92 Points Wine Enthusiast | Golden apples, green apples, vanilla and cinnamon flavors pour out of this ripe and indulgent wine. It has all the warm, buttery nuances and rich texture that make California Chardonnay so appealing.
