A bit syrupy tasting with cherry notes tasting. Had this open for a couple of days and it went downhill with age getting a sweet note as it sat.

Too acidic and sour. Let it sit out for a few hours and then it becomes more bearable. Otherwise, put your $7 towards a nicer bottle of wine that will actually be worth the calories. (1855 views) | | | Tasted by coal9 on 7/22/2017 & rated 87 points: For $ 7, this is a good everyday wine. Ready right after I uncorked it. Nose of fruit & chocolatey dessert - I swear I could smell the chocolate-icing version of red velvet cake...... This is a grapey-tasting wine, lightly jammy with loads of blackberry, blueberry, strawberry, cherry, & vanilla flavors winding into a medium mocha finish. The acidity is well-balanced, the tannins are smooth, and some mild oak is present in the finish. I enjoyed all the fruit in this wine. Drink it in 2017. Looking forward to their other red, Black Forest. (1861 views) | | | Tasted by KC/SC on 1/16/2017 & rated 65 points: Oak, smooth, chocolate (825 views) |
| Cupcake Vineyards Producer websiteCupcake Vineyards Red VelvetRed Velvet is a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah; each variety lending structure, aroma, depth of flavor and a long creamy finish to this wine. The grapes were harvested from some of the finest vineyards of California’s viticultural areas; each picked for their ability to engender these grapes with distinct characteristics that will add to this blend. Each varietal was fermented separately and later blended and put through a unique oak regime that imparts a certain creaminess. -- Producer web site.Red Blend.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson CaliforniaNapa Valley.http://www.stagecoachvineyard.com/vineyards/our_vineyards.php
