Decoy Featherweight California Sauvignon Blanc

Decoy says it was established in 1985 and became a stand-alone winery in 2008. The grape behind this bottle is Sauvignon Blanc. Our grape research describes it as known for clear aroma and refreshing acidity, usually made as a dry white. Official regional guides point to citrus, green herbs and gooseberry as common notes across the category.

This bottle is made in California. Checks we ran in September 2026 found it priced from $17.99 to $23.99, depending on the store. Ratings across the wines we track sit at a 4.71 median; we do not have a shopper rating for this bottle.

Decoy's own brand history dates this line precisely: Featherweight launched in 2024, positioned, in the producer's words, for life's lighter moments. The current listing backs that positioning with numbers, 9 percent alcohol by volume and 80 calories in a 5 ounce pour, both set directly against Decoy's regular-strength Sauvignon Blanc in the producer's own serving-facts comparison. Its tasting notes describe lychee, green apple and citrus zest aromas, with pineapple and Meyer lemon, crisp acidity, and a green banana note on the finish.

Our call: this suits a shopper who specifically wants a lower-alcohol, lower-calorie white; the producer states 9 percent alcohol and 80 calories a pour against its own regular-strength Sauvignon Blanc. Pass if you want a full-strength Sauvignon Blanc or the crowd's confirmation before buying: no shopper rating has reached our record for this bottle, so the producer's word stands alone.
