Dark Horse Wines The Original California Cabernet Sauvignon

Ratings on Delectable

"Odedi" Delectable Pro

Beautiful dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim. Nice nose of black currants, sweet cherries, licorice, vanilla, oak, cloves, spices, leather, earth, milk chocolate, metals, mocha, acetone and black pepper. Medium plus in body and jammy, with medium acidity and long legs. Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, plums, cherries, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, dark chocolate, coffee, mocha, spices and peppercorn. Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and spices. This California Cabernet is a great everyday wine. Nicely balanced and not very complex, but at a great price. Would benefit from one more year in the bottle as it is a little tight at this stage. Enjoyable by itself or with food like BBQ Meats. 13.5% alcohol by volume.

Needs some time to open up but a good Cab with a bit of a dry finish. Would buy again.

A very deep, dark, expressive Cab. Dark plum, chocolate, spice, and oak on the nose with additional notes of blackberry and raisin. Full bodied, dry, and tannic. A pretty awesome Cabernet Sauvignon!

Recommended by a friend who actually knows and loves wine, that being said, I personally hated this wine! I thought a week later I would try again. n Needles to say, I was so unhappy it was already turned to vinager! Or.... it was so bad I just tasted vinegar!

Deep red, with hint of oak and dark plums. Decent for the price.

Beeren und leicht erdig. Zwischendurch etwas wässrig aber nicht störend. Überraschend komplex. Ca. 5 €

More earthy than fruity, smooth flavor without being too spicy or acidic. Great for sipping casually with unsalted almonds and fun conversation.

Dark ruby in color with reddish rim. Fruity nose with plums, cherries, currants, oak, vanilla, licorice, coffee, sweet raspberries, chocolates and black pepper. Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs. Dry on the palate and fruity, with blackberries, raspberries, wood, licorice, earth, spices, peppercorn, smoke, chocolates, tobacco and light green vegetables. Nice finish with round tannins and tangy cranberries. This inexpensive California Cabernet is well balanced with mild complexity. Good by itself or with food. A good sipping wine and nice for parties, too. Good right out of the bottle and better after an hour in a decanter. Enjoyable when lightly chilled. 13.5% alcohol by volume.
