Cupcake 2008 Riesling
- $14
From Yakima Valley grapes, this is a solidly made Riesling with just a trace of sweetness. Citrus fruits, lemon oil and hints of tea and honey fill out the palate, which has a pleasing roundness.

Cupcake 2008 Pinot Noir
- Online Exclusive
- $14
A delicious Pinot Noir. Set it beside more expensive bottlings and it stands up well. Silky and rich, with raspberry and cherry purée, cola, sweet vanilla and sandalwood flavors, and a long, spicy finish. Production was 26,000 cases.

Cupcake 2008 Shiraz (Barossa Valley)
- $14
Comes across as a bit lacking in fruit intensity, with vanilla, cedar and menthol notes making up the dominant aromatic components. It’s medium in body, finishing dusty and tart.

Cupcake 2006 Merlot
- $10
Here’s a dry, tannic Merlot that’s fine with burgers, barbecued steaks and other comfort foods that require a full-bodied red. With currant and cherry flavors, it’s a good buy at this price.
