The Mad Hatter is Dancing Hares second label!!! The 2009 Madhatter (27% Cabernet Sauvignon, 59% Merlot, 7% Petit Verdot, 7% Cabernet Franc) after a short decanting, the wine comes alive, with deep, ripe notes of blackberry, black tea, and forest floor.

In the glass the 2002 has a dark, inky-purple color, saturated to the edge. It has a pronounced aromatic bouquet of luxurious pure ripe fruit, cassis and earth. The wine’s diverse, complex and powerful flavor profile - with ripe cassis, blackberry, and black cherry flavors supported by hints of tar and earth - prove that the painstaking and slow process of partial row harvesting was well worth the effort. The tiny Cabernet berries yielded from the vineyard’s dry soils produced powerful yet silky tannins and a refreshing backbone of acidity which, combined with its bold structure and rich flavors, infused it with plenty of power to age for a long while. The wine is elegant, showy and polished, with plenty of body and plush ripeness. We think you can enjoy the powerful, vibrant fruit now ...More
