Decoy announced the launch of Featherweight Cabernet Sauvignon, the first red wine in Featherweight’s low-calorie, low-alcohol offerings. 

This new varietal offers consumers a balanced and smooth red wine with just 80 calories in each 5-ounce serving and 9% alcohol. The introduction of Decoy Featherweight Cabernet Sauvignon builds on the success of the Featherweight tier, which was first launched in 2023, it notes.

“Decoy Featherweight was created to meet a new consumer — the ‘betterment’ consumer — who is specifically seeking better-for-you benefits in their wine choices without compromising on taste or quality,” said Chanel Caplan, senior vice president of brand management for premium brands of The Duckhorn Portfolio, in a statement. “The Cabernet Sauvignon is a natural and strategic extension, utilizing the same base blend as our category-leading Decoy Cabernet Sauvignon, which assures consumers of the quality they expect from Decoy.”

Dana Epperson, winemaker at Decoy, added: “We crafted Decoy Featherweight Cabernet Sauvignon for effortless enjoyment — it opens with inviting aromas of dark cherry, raspberry, baking spice and a touch of toasty oak. On the palate, silky tannins and juicy blackberry notes are beautifully balanced by bright acidity, delivering a lower-calorie, lower-alcohol wine with a full, vibrant, and smooth flavor from start to finish.”

The 2023 Decoy Featherweight Cabernet Sauvignon is available for purchase nationwide.
