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!
