From California's Central Coast, Cupcake Red Velvet is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Zinfandel. This wine had a burst of cherry on my palate finishing with spice. The tannins were mild and the mouthfeel was a tad thin. Customers enjoyed this and it sold quite well. With the nicer, warmer weather I can see this with barbecued meats and hamburgers. Winemaker's Notes: Red Velvet shows an incredible nose of chocolate, deep rich blackberries, red fruits and a creamy mocha finish that is unmistakable in its intensity and length. It's reminiscent of a blackberry chocolate cupcake with a mocha coulis. Enjoy with sweet and spicy Hoisin steak, a barbecue bacon cheeseburger, or even a dark chocolate fondue.
Rex-Goliath Chardonnay (from California) is a nice summertime chardonnay. The flavor on my palate was crisp green apple and melon with a hint of pineapple. As it is so reasonably priced it would be perfect for my White Sangria recipe (see my blog of April 11th ). Also, for the price, it is ideal for cooking. Winemaker's Notes:
Rex Goliath Chardonnay is a true sun-kissed California Chardonnay with bold aromas of apple and pear, combined with the classic spices of Grandma’s apple pie. Tropical fruit, pineapple and melon flavors combine with well-integrated layers of crème brûlée and a smattering of vanilla.
I’ve added a splash of aromatic white varietals to provide layers of delicate floral notes coupled with bright citrus character. Round fruit and vibrant acidity are harmoniously balanced with French oak. The oak used for our wines is a proprietary blend of French oak, with varying degrees of toasting. This gives the Rex Goliath oak profile a distinct flavor, like no other wine on the planet!
