Dancing Hares Vineyard Mad Hatter Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2011

$59.99

New release from former Screaming Eagle winemaker Andy Erickson and an all-star team.  Fantastic find! This fantastic blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot is another outstanding wine crafted by winemaker favorite, Andy Erickson, consulted by Michel Rolland and vineyard manager David Abreu. Paula Brooks and Bob Cook are the proprietors of Dancing Hares and the stewards of the land that so thoughtfully produces the significantly poised vines at the foot of Howell Mountain.  The goal of the team is to produce wines of terroir-driven distinction that highlight the best Mother Nature brought each vintage. We are proud to be able to introduce our clients to wines as luscious and complex as these and hope you have room for a bit in your cellar.

Never thought of this producer as Bordeaux in style but this is all the way there. Black cherry, black licorice, tannic rust. Can still go for a long time. Maybe I got a rock star bottle but it’s worth looking around for this one.

Popped and poured. Needed more air. And picked up some of the 2011 green note that heretofore hadn't really detected in this wine.

Delicious stuff. Can lay down if you want to. But shows nice with some air. Shades of right bank
