Cupcake Wines

Sort By:

Cupcake 2008 Pinot Noir (Central Coast)

Online Exclusive

Price $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. — S.H. (12/15/2010)

Cupcake 2008 Riesling (Washington)

Price $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. — P.G. (12/31/2009)

Cupcake 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Online Exclusive

Price $15

— J.C. (7/1/2009)

Cupcake 2008 Shiraz (Barossa Valley)

Price $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. — J.C. (7/1/2011)

Cupcake 2010 Red Velvet (California)

Online Exclusive

Price $14

So sweet in berry jam and mocha flavors, it’s basically a dessert wine. If you like that style, it’s pretty good. — S.H. (4/1/2012)

Cupcake 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Marlborough)

Online Exclusive

Price $12

This plump, medium-bodied Sauvignon Blanc features distinct notes of fig and nectarine alongside hints of passion fruit. It's a bit sweet and simply fruity, finishing without much length. Drink now. — J.C. (9/1/2010)

Cupcake 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (Central Coast)

Price $10

Here’s a good, everyday Cab if you’re looking for a bargain. It’s dry, tannic and earthy, with suggestions of currants and oak. — S.H. (11/15/2008)

Cupcake 2006 Merlot (Central Coast)

Price $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. — S.H. (11/15/2008)
