David Akiyoshi Sugar Cube Rouge 2020
About the wine
Satisfy your sweet tooth with David's Zinfandel-based sweet red
- Next time you’re craving a luscious red wine on the sweet side, reach for David’s Sugar Cube Rouge! This red is overflowing with juicy, refined black cherry and red berry flavors, complete with a long, lip-smacking finish.
- Thanks to Angel funding, David started with a base of Zinfandel for just the right touch of richness, before blending in a touch of Cabernet Sauvignon to give this red delight the perfect balance of complexity and sweetness.
- Sip this decadent red all on its own for dessert, or pair its sweetness with a decked-out cheese plate after dinner and you’re all set!
Best before
Life is short and some wines are meant to be enjoyed now. This is one of those wines!
Serving advice
Open this sweet red early and often.
Food match
Spicy foods make a great pairing with this sweet red. Try it with a habanero cheeseburger, or maybe some Thai hot curries. Sichuan beef or a rousing Louisiana crawfish étouffée would also be great.
Contains sulphites
