Duckhorn Vineyards
Decoy Wines were first introduced in 1985 as the second label of the renowned California winery Duckhorn Vineyards. Crafted to deliver exceptional quality at an approachable price, Decoy quickly became a favorite for wine lovers seeking bottles that fit seamlessly from everyday dinners to life’s special celebrations.
Decoy also found itself in the spotlight thanks to a heartwarming story involving MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani and his beloved dog, Decopin. Ohtani affectionately refers to his pup’s name, “Decopin,” as “Decoy” when speaking in English — a playful connection that led to him receiving a plush toy shaped like a Decoy wine bottle. When he shared a post of Decopin happily playing with the toy on Instagram, it captured hearts and created quite a buzz.
Following that post, Decoy Wines quickly gained attention in Japan — with several standout bottles becoming fan favorites:
-
Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon California – A full-bodied red with rich fruit character and silky tannins.
-
Decoy Pinot Noir – Elegant and expressive, offering aromas of cherry and subtle spice.
-
Decoy Limited Chardonnay Sonoma Coast – Bright citrus notes balanced by a creamy, refined texture.
Decoy strikes the perfect balance: approachable in price yet refined in taste and quality, making it an ideal companion for everyday meals or special occasions. Thanks to the charming story of Shohei Ohtani and his dog Decopin, more and more people are discovering a personal connection to the brand — making Decoy a thoughtful gift or a celebratory pour for memorable moments.
