Cupcake Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2009

Central Coast, California, United StatesI can't say a name like cupcake inspires me to taste a wine but to each his own I guess. Black cherry, cassis, minty, spicy, peppery cola aromas. This cabernet is surprisingly balanced and supple in the mouth with ripe black fruit flavours with some cassis, tobacco leaf, herbs and rooty, cola notes. A solid hamburger red for the summer, but serve the cupcakes for dessert.Tasted: 23 June 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
