Tasting - Darkhorse Cabernet Sauvignon

The Gourmet Pantry, 2/2/13

Name:  Darkhorse Cabernet Sauvignon
Variety:  Cabernet Sauvignon
Region:  Central Valley, California
Country:  USA
Year:  2011
Price:  $8.99
Public review:  "Bold flavors of blackberry and black cherry, supported by firm tannins, brown spice and a dark chocolate espresso finish."    
My review:  A strong berry smell in the nose.  Very light for a Cabernet Sauvignon.  Dry; nothing special.
With food?:  Not during the tasting, but I had just finished a meal at Pita Vera not long beforehand.
Did buy?:  No
