What reviewers say
“Fragrant bouquet of tangy black cherries, black currants and blackberries with floral notes of roses and hints of fresh mint. Attack and middle of sweet red cherries and blackberries with a finish of vanilla and light oak spice. Has some fresh acidity that makes the fruit flavors a bit tangy. The finish is medium long and leaves an aftertaste of light coffee and cocoa. Small silky tannins. Medium to full bodied.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
It has aromas of dark cherry, vanilla, and cocoa with hints of sage. It has a delicious entry, full mouthfeel, and tantalising finish for a delightful experience from beginning to end.

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Wild Horse Cabernet Sauvignon lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 830.
