Winery Review: The 2012 Dark Horse Cabernet Sauvignon has bold flavors of blackberry and cherry supported by firm tannins, brown spice and a dark chocolate espresso finish. This Cabernet Wine was carefully aged to develop dark fruit flavors and dark roast aromas.
Dark Horse Cabernet is made from a blend of hand-selected grapes grown predominantly in the Lodi and Delta winegrowing areas of California's Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys.
My Review: The smell is somewhat fruity. I get blackberries and generally black berries with vanilla. The taste was pretty bold but not too much. Very nice body. I get blackberries again with cherries and more black fruit. Very smooth drinking. It has a medium long finish. This is a very good wine especially for the price.
I tasted this wine with a ribeye cooked medium rare. The steak helped cut through some of the tannins and made this much smoother. I thought it was sweeter too. Very nice pairing.
