Reviews and Ratings

Corinna Horton rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A sun drenched Californian, the very definition of fun, this is a wine for anyone with an appetite for life and LIVING.

A red blend from Hoopla Wines that changes from year to year based on what grape grows best, The Mutt 2012 is a ripe 98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Merlot for a medium bodied wine backed with red and black berry taste.

Bright and sassy, The Mutt 2012 is an easy going wine, a casual pizza night wine that pairs just as easily with pasta, beef or chicken.

The finish is smooth and creamy and the nose hints of the summer fruit yet to come. At 14.7% it’s could be great companion at a dinner party, and just as easily keep you company solo.
