Wine Tastings

UmUm Good!
2009 Cupcake Vineyards Red Velvet
It's a smooth, red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Zinfandel.

Per website http://www.cupcakevineyard.com/, the profile follows:

Vintage:
2009
Wine Type:
Bold Red Wine
Tasting Notes:
Red Velvet shows an incredible nose of chocolate, deep rich blackberries, red fruits and a creamy mocha finish that is unmistakable in its intensity and length. Our Red Velvet is a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It's reminiscent of a blackberry chocolate cupcake with a mocha coulis.
Food Pairing:
Enjoy with sweet and spicy Hoison steak, a barbecue bacon cheese burger or even dark chocolate fondue.


I paired this glass (or two) of deliciousness with oven-baked bbq chicken, a simple pasta salad, green beans and corn. The bottle is priced online at an inexpensive $12.00/bottle.  Of course, I needed to search for the best bargain, so when buying it by the case from our local distributor, I got it a few dollars cheaper!
