The Duckhorn Portfolio’s Post

We are excited to announce the release of our inaugural 2022 Decoy Limited Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon. This new offering builds on our ten years of experience working in the region and our 2022 acquisition of a 289-acre estate vineyard in the San Miguel District sub-appellation. Made using grapes from top vineyard sources and our estate properties, Winemaker Dana Epperson crafts Decoy Limited wines as a selection of her favorite blocks and lots each vintage. 

We are excited to announce that we have entered into expanded distribution agreements with Republic National Distributing Company and Breakthru Beverage Group. This was the culmination of a comprehensive strategic evaluation of our wholesale distribution network across the United States, with the goal of driving profitable growth through a substantial increase in focus and investment in the wholesale channel. As we have expanded our geographic commitment to RNDC and BBG, they have expanded their commitment to us. We see many benefits of these enhanced relationships, not only for us and our distributors, but most importantly, for our retail customers and consumers.

Today, we announced that Deirdre Mahlan has been appointed President, Chief Executive Officer, and Chairperson of The Duckhorn Portfolio. She has been a member of our Board of Directors since March 2021 and has served as interim CEO for the past six months. “We are thrilled Deirdre will serve as our permanent President, CEO and Chairperson, and look forward to continuing to partner with her to deliver on the vision she has for The Duckhorn Portfolio,” said Michelle Gloekler, The Duckhorn Portfolio’s lead independent director and chair of the CEO search committee. “Her industry track record and performance both on our Board and as interim CEO make it clear that Deidre is the ideal leader to spearhead the Company’s next phase of growth.”

Thank you to Fran Endicott Miller for this wonderful feature article in Haute Living San Francisco. "...The Duckhorn Portfolio has emerged as one of the most dynamic and successful mid-sized luxury wine companies in the United States. That the Duckhorn Portfolio is exclusively focused on luxury wine makes the accomplishment somewhat remarkable."

Founded in 1996 by Margaret and Dan Duckhorn, Goldeneye is a tale of tradition and ongoing exploration.
