Winery review: Cupcake
Vineyards works hard to craft the richest, smoothest and
elegantly-textured wines. This full-bodied yet smooth merlot displays
supple tannins with favors of red cherries that evolve into decadent
levels of cocoa and espresso and a smooth finish. Reminiscent of that
chocolate cherry cupcake that used to call for you at the corner bakery.
- Winemaker's Notes
My Review: I have always wanted to try Cupcake wine when I've seen it in stores and I finally gave in and bought it. As most wines with cute names this wine disappointed me. It was described as smooth and decadent and I found it cheap tasting with a hot after taste. This wine simply was disgusting and the overwhelming cherry and alcohol flavors really ruin any possibility of any other flavors from the wine coming through.
