  • Ridgeline Vineyards
    Ridgeline Vineyard In 2012, after several years of working with its coveted grapes, Decoy acquired the renowned Ridgeline Vineyard property, fulfilling a long-held dream of establishing an Estate program in the Alexander Valley and Sonoma County. The lush, structured Bordeaux-varietal fruit from this storied vineyard has become a central element in our Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and flagship Decoy Red, further enhancing the quality of our wines, and underscoring our belief in the importance of Estate vineyards. Located approximately 90 miles north of San Francisco, Ridgeline Vineyard is situated on Oak Mountain in the Alexander Valley AVA—Sonoma County’s finest appellation for growing Bordeaux grapes. The property consists of 44 unique hillside vineyard blocks, with different soils and elevations (up to nearly 2,000 feet). Though this spectacular mountain vineyard spans more than 400 acres, only 89 acres are under vine. The rest is preserved in its natural state, providing a stunning backdrop to the vine rows. Looming high above Alexander Valley at the north end of the Mayacamas mountain range, Ridgeline primarily consists of Cabernet Sauvignon and the other Bordeaux red grapes. Originally planted in 1999, the site benefits from an east-west exposure for maximum sunlight, and a north-south vertical axis for ideal drainage. Steep slopes further contribute to drainage, resulting in lower yields and concentrated flavors. These factors, and the site’s primarily Boomer and Sobrante loam soils, threaded with interlacing natural mineral springs, provide remarkable conditions for cultivating red grapes with phenomenal color, flavor and structure. Additionally, while summer daytime temperatures are hot enough to suit heat-loving red grapes, the rapid cooling effect of evening fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean preserves the fresh, enlivening acidity of the fruit as it ripens.

This limited release allows our winemakers to emphasize the extraordinary terroir of our unique properties and craft very small lots for rened palates. Alexander Valley AVA Estsablished in 1984, the Alexander Valley AVA is a long, slim winegrowing region dened by the Russian River winding up its mid line and the Mayacamas Mountains lining its eastern borders. The AVA, comprised mainly of mountains, ridges, hillsides and benchlands, is lled with a diverse array of soils rich in iron based volcanic rock, gravel, sand and clay. Winemaker Notes This Cabernet shows mountain intensity in its rich blackberry, black currant and cassis avors. It’s bone dry, with thick but rened long tannins, and brightened by a ne burst of fruit and acidity. Blended with a little Merlot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot for complexity, it drinks beautifully now, and will age for a decade or longer.

  • Alexander's Crown
    RODNEY STRONG Alexander’s Crown 2014 SINGLE VINEYARD ALEXANDER VALLEY | SONOMA COUNTY Cabernet Sauvignon ALEXANDER VALLEY The Alexander Valley AVA is 22 miles long, ranging in elevation from 150 to 1500 feet above sea level, and is home to our three single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Our winegrowers have found the very best grapes grow on higher elevated western slopes, or as they say, the “sweet spots”. Spread throughout our three vineyards, we’ve determined the best blocks are typically located just below the ridge tops with a western facing aspect to capture the full warmth and light of the afternoon sun. In the northernmost hills near our Brothers vineyard, with average growing-season temperatures of 67 degrees, heat dominates, allowing Cabernet Sauvignon to ripen well. In the middle of the valley, Rockaway vineyard, with average temperatures of 62 degrees, balances heat and Pacifi c Ocean cooling breezes – allowing for classic structure development. The even cooler Alexander’s Crown vineyard, with average temperatures of 59 degrees in the southern valley, yields more delicate, “feminine” style Cabernet Sauvignon. In the distance of only 12 short miles, average temperatures change eight degrees among our vineyards during growing season, thereby allowing three very different expressions of Cabernet Sauvignon. THE VINEYARD Established in 1971 and recognized as the fi rst vineyard in Alexander Valley to produce a single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander’s Crown vineyard is perched on a hill in the south of the Alexander Valley just west of Jimtown. Encompassing 63 acres, the vineyard is in the fi rst part of the valley to feel cool Pacifi c breezes each afternoon.

  • 2018 Double Gold Awards
    2018 Wine Awards OC Fair Commercial Competition Co-sponsored by the Orange County Wine Society Special Recognition - Double Gold Awards This special designation indicates that the wine received a Gold Medal recommendation from four judges on a panel. Since this is not a "consensus judging", i.e. the judges do not confer among themselves to determine what award they will make, but arrive at their recommendation individually, a rare occurrence indeed. This year, out of a total of 2,708 entries, only 56 wines received this prestigious honor. They are: Trentadue La Storia 98 Points 2016 Zinfandel Estate, Block 303 Alexander Valley AVA Deaver Vineyards 97 Points 2015 Zinfandel Henry's House Amador County Rock Wall Wine Co. 96 Points 2016 Monte Rosso Zinfandel Reserve Sonoma Valley, AVA Monte Rosso Vineyard Garemani Wines 96 Points 2017 Sauvignon Blanc Los Olivos AVA, Valley View Vineyard Blair Estate 96 Points 2013 Pinot Noir Estate, Single Vineyard Arroyo Seco AVA, Delfina's Vineyard Zotovich 96 Points 2015 Chardonnay Sta.

  • Cabernet Sauvignon
    2010 SONOMA COUNTY CABERNET SAUVIGNON For almost 80 years, the Martini family winemakers have crafted world-class Cabernet Sauvignon wines from the exceptional vineyards of Sonoma and Napa counties. Louis M. Martini embodied a simple, honest premise: The best grapes make the best wines. Today, Michael Martini, third-generation winemaker, carries on this tradition at the historic winery in Napa Valley with his range of unforgettable Cabernet Sauvignon wines. VITICULTURAL NOTES The 2010 growing season was cooler than average in Sonoma County with record‐breaking low temperatures in the spring and 20 days of rain, doubling the historic average. Summer began cool with plenty of fog and cloud cover and the summer warmth set in by late August. Following a late September heat wave, the grapes really popped with flavor. The cool temperatures suppressed the development of the sought-after dark fruit characteristics in Cabernet Sauvignon; so to create a firm structure and dark fruit characteristics in this wine, Petite Sirah was added. A small portion of Cabernet Sauvignon grapes from Lake County was also blended to add a slight viscosity to the mouthfeel. WINEMAKER NOTES The grapes for the Louis M. Martini 2010 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon were destemmed into the fermentors and allowed to cold soak for 24 hours before yeast inoculation. Winemaker Michael Martini chose to use BDX yeast because it allows better extraction of tannins that translates to the 2010 SONOMA COUNTY firm structure and a full, round mouthfeel of this wine. Lots were fermented for an average of five to seven days at a maximum temperature of 88˚F.
