The price difference between the regular Decoy offerings (which are not shabby at all) and the Decoy "Limited" series is often only about five dollars. Most of the Decoy base offerings have a suggested list price of $25 versus the $30 price tag of the Decoy Limited or blue label wines.
That seems like a rather fine parse, but I don't run the company. When it comes to sourcing slightly better grapes, sometimes that five dollar difference can reflect a significant upgrade.
The Limited wines generally come from more confined, more refined AVA's. In this case the Decoy Limited Central Coast Pinot Noir comes from the Sonoma Coast AVA, and absolutely delivers the goods for a Pinot Noir from that zone.It has crisp cranberry, black cherry, and raspberry fruit notes, hints of conifer, dried herbs, and a very luxurious mouthfeel, with a long, supple finish. The balance of focus and plushness is impressive. It is a very well-made wine, and you might be able to find it for a little bit cheaper. (92 Points).
