The nose opens with citrus, green apple, and pear, layered with soft tropical hints and a delicate touch of vanilla and toast from oak aging.\n\nThe palate is round and smooth, with lively acidity that keeps the wine fresh and well-balanced. A gentle creamy texture adds depth, while the finish is long and harmonious, leaving behind persistent fruit and subtle barrel nuance. It is best enjoyed young to capture its vibrant fruit character, though it should hold nicely over the next few years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSourced from California vineyards, Decoy Chardonnay 2021 is made entirely from Chardonnay grapes and crafted to express the region’s hallmark ripeness alongside freshness and restraint.
