Cupcake Vineyards
California Cabernet Sauvignon
California, USA
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim and medium intensity.
Very fruity on the nose with black currants, blackberries, figs, raisins, vanilla, sweet oak, spices, chocolates, black pepper and alcohol.
Medium plus in body and creamy with medium minus acidity and nice legs.
Dry to off dry on the palate with sweet cherries, plums, blueberries, oak, vanilla licorice, spices, smoke, black pepper, chocolates, mocha, coke and light tobacco.
Medium on the finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a simple Cabernet from California. Not fully balanced, but enjoyable by itself or with food.
A bit weird tasting, but I couldn't put my finger on it, maybe aged in wood chips?? Nonetheless, it is very drinkable and not too offensive. Might be a little too sweet for some.
13.5% alcohol by volume.
83 points.
$8.

Really liked this one, dryer but also sweeter. Strange.

So-so , a bit nondescript ... was expecting good things , based on our like of their Chardonnay , but this one is a bit underwhelming ... good price though!

Hyvee. On sale for $7.99, but not worth that. Would pay $6. Fruity and rich.
