No, it’s not Chardonnay that tastes like cupcakes, but Cupcake Chardonnay does have a butter-cream and vanilla finish. This wine also tastes of citrus, oak, and subtle spices. It is semi-sweet close to semi-dry, not too sweet and not too dry. At about $10 a bottle, it won’t break the bank either.
Chardonnay has fell a little out of style in American markets. Ever heard of the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) campaign? But Chardonnay is starting to make a comeback, so to speak…it has long been one of the most popular wines in the states.
What I most enjoyed about this wine was the warm, buttery aftertaste, not unlike a cupcake itself. This Chardonnay is well balanced, not too oaky, and reasonable priced.
Cupcake Vineyards also produces a Cabernet Sauvignon.
