Decoy Wines

Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon

Dark cherry, raspberry, baking spice, cola, and subtle toasty oak form a focused aromatic profile that feels both inviting and balanced. The palate offers dark juicy blackberry supported by silky tannins, medium oak structure, and bright acidity that keeps the wine lively. A smooth, creamy texture carries through to a long, balanced finish.

Decoy Red Blend

Bright red fruit leads the profile, with ripe raspberry, concentrated boysenberry, and sweet cranberry layered alongside notes of nutmeg and oak spice. The palate centers on juicy boysenberry, supported by smooth tannins and a round, structured feel. Subtle toasty oak shapes the finish, allowing ripe red fruit to linger.

Decoy Sauvignon Blanc

Bright and lively, this Sauvignon Blanc reveals layers of mango, pineapple, white peach, and kiwi on the palate. Lively acidity balances the creamy texture, allowing juicy stone fruit flavors to unfold. The finish is long and sweet, with a lingering kiwi note that leaves a vibrant, refreshing impression from start to finish.

Decoy Chardonnay

Radiant aromas of ripe tangerine, sweet melon, and tropical mango mingle with delicate oak spice. The palate is round and full, with bright acidity and a supple backbone of sweet oak, layered with notes of juicy mango, pineapple, and a touch of vanilla.

Sean Minor Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay

California Series 2024 Sauvignon Blanc California

Vibrant and juicy, our Sauvignon Blanc has vibrant, refreshing flavors of kiwi, green apple, pink grapefruit and peach. An ideal aperitif or year-round sipper.

This is an over-achiever for California appellation Sauvignon. Medium-bodied, it shows ripe flavors including classic melon and citrus notes, but also a suggestion of tropical fruits. The aromas aren’t as grassy or herbal as usual for Sauvignon Blanc, but the ripe and fruity aromas lend coherence to the wine’s overall character. —M.F. The Tasting Panel

Studio By Miraval Rose

Studio by Miraval Rose was created as a tribute to the recording studio where Pink Floyd recorded ‘the Wall’, this wine symbolizes the spirit of Art de Vivre around the Mediterranean.

The vintage

In Provence, the 2024 vintage was marked by complex climatic conditions, requiring constant vigilance and attention in the vineyard. Frost in May, hail in July and then a cool and slightly rainy September favoured slow ripening of the grapes. This allowed us to obtain aromatic and fresh wines, with a well-preserved natural acidity, but with paler colour than usual, a consequence of a lower ph. The first tastings reveal fresh and dense aromas, accompanied by a nice complexity on the palate, full of flavours and saline at the same time. Tangy and fruity, without any harshness, particularly pleasant and easy to drink.

Terroir

Studio by Miraval is strongly influenced by the sea sprays and the proximity of the Mediterranean Sea. These salty soils give the wine a unique character and an almost iodized finish.

Ageing

All the varieties are vinified by direct pressing. The Cinsault and Tibouren in Stainless steel vats. The Grenache & Rolle are partially vinified in tanks. This ovoid shape gives rise to a natural convection movement that suspends the lees creating the same effect as a batonnage and gives the wine a lot of structure.

Tasting

Seductive clear and bright colour of a very pale-pink with pastel reflections. All in finesse and elegance, the nose offers a superb aromatic bouquet with notes of small red fruit and cherry blossom. With a beautiful liveliness, the ample and racy mouth prolongs this refined character with seductive aromas of blood-oranges and redcurrants, perfectly balanced by the freshness of a pretty mineral structure and just a hint of bitterness. The long finish prolongs the tasty aromas of this fresh and elegant wine, with a beautiful balance.

Food pairings

Aperitif, salads, grilled dishes, Mediterranean cuisine, sushi.

Elegant and distinct, with aromas of peach, strawberry and subtle hints of rose petal. Bursts of fresh citrus colorfully drive the palate and are balanced with flavors of nectarine and stone fruit.

Flowers Winery

From the initial plantings more than 30 years ago, Flowers Vineyards & Winery has been inspired and defined by the Sonoma Coast.

Among the first to see the potential for growing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay along the fog-shrouded Pacific Ocean, we have refined our understanding of our estate properties with each passing vintage. Sometimes referred to as the “far” Sonoma Coast, our rugged, windswept vineyards represent extreme viticulture in the pursuit of crafting wines representative of time and place.

Working in agricultural isolation on the edge of the coast, just north of the town of Jenner, is done with a very specific goal in mind…to present a pure expression of one of the world’s truly exceptional places to make wine. Our organic practices emphasize our approach as stewards of the land, resulting in healthier vines and higher quality soils. Our commitment to stewardship along with our organic and biodynamic farming practices have been unwavering constants of our winemaking philosophy since our inception.

Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon

91 Points Wine Enthusiast

From a blend of beautiful sites across the valley, including Arcadia Vineyard in Coombsville and Rancho Chimiles in Wooden Valley, as well as small amounts of grapes from S.L.V. and Fay, this wine is inviting in dense aromas of red fruit, caramel and brioche. With dashes of Petit Verdot and Malbec, it finishes on accents of tobacco and cedar.

Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon

Nothing matters more to Austin Hope than family and winemaking. And for Austin, nothing embodies those quite like Paso Robles.

Growing up amongst the grapevines of his family’s vineyards, Austin spent his formative years studying the science and craft of both, in California and in the Rhone region of France. It wasn’t until 2017, after years of exploration and fine tuning his craft, that Austin felt he could create something that encapsulated the essential elements of Paso Robles. Austin realized this vision when he released a Cabernet Sauvignon under his Austin Hope label. The sources of the wine are far-reaching within the appellation – a most discerning group of vineyards located on gently sloping hillsides and hidden pockets across the domain, providing unique dimensions to the Cabernet varietal. Each dimension tells a distinctive part of the story of our unique and wondrous region.

Today, Austin’s obsession has evolved to showcase an even greater sweep of Paso Robles, expressing a life dedicated to growing grapes and making Paso wines. Nothing makes Austin more proud than crafting a wine that captures the inspiring essence of Paso Robles.
