Cupcake's Cab

This week I tried Cupcake Vineyard's 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon.  The Chardonnay was fantastic, so I thought I'd give this one a shot.  It was not as pleasing as the Chardonnay, but it was still tasty.  On the nose it was spicy with dark berries, cedar, and a hint of vanilla.  Besides being a little tart, it had an initial bit of spice and a woody flavor with cedar and oak.  There was also a note of blackberries.  This cab had light tannins and body.  The biggest problem I noted was that it did not last much more than a day past opening.  Usually I can drink a red two nights after I've opened it but this one was not very drinkable.

So, all in all, this was not a bad pick.  And their logo is just so cute!  You can see it better here:   I love it!  Go ahead and invest in a bottle.  And while you're there, pick up the Chardonnay if you haven't!
