NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This full-bodied red blend from Cupcake is a decadent treat for the senses.Aromas of ripe, dark cherries and blackberries are complemented by hints of black pepper and a smoky, toasty oak character. On the palate, the bright cherry and berry flavors are balanced perfectly by juicy acidity and firm tannins. The finish is long and memorable, with a lingering touch of toasted oak. Enjoy this robust red with rich, juicy meats or dark chocolate desserts.
