Decoy Featherweight Cabernet Sauvignon is a pioneering, lower-calorie California red wine crafted to deliver authentic varietal character and rich fruit flavour in a lighter, session-friendly style. Produced by The Duckhorn Portfolio using the same premium California grape sourcing and traditional winemaking methods as the core Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon, this expression undergoes a gentle dealcoholization process that preserves its natural aromatics and structure. Bottled at 9% ABV with just 80 calories per 5-ounce serving, it offers an approachable, silky-smooth experience tailored for mindful, everyday enjoyment without sacrificing quality.
