Winery Review: 2011 Darkhorse Cabernet Sauvignon is very young, and oddly sweet.  The flavors here are not refined, and they extremely fruit forward.  The character of the wine is not particularly robust, but it’s excitedly young.  Pairing wise, 2011 Darkhorse Cabernet Sauvignon might do well with pasta, pizza, or poultry, but it’s not a traditional steakhouse red.

My review: Dry, dark berry taste.  Taste was not over-powering.  I liked it enough to pick up a bottle. 

I tasted this on its own with no food.
