Dancing Hares Cabernet Blend ‘Mad Hatter’ 2008 – 95 Points
Posted by thewineinsiders in Wine Reviews on Aug 9th, 2011 | 0 comments
A superb Cabernet-based blend that shows spicy aromas, rich flavors and a tremendous chocolatey mouthfeel. Serious enough to age well for 5+ years, but ready to be enjoyed tonight either by itself or with grilled meats.

Gorgeous aromas of chocolate, honey and minerals leap out of the glass. On the palate it’s fine and silky with espresso, tobacco, cedar, currants and black fruits and berries. Polished tannins and a super long finish are a standout. Astonishing value.

Gamba Zinfandel Moratto Vineyard 2009 – 95 Points
Posted by thewineinsiders in Wine Reviews on Jul 28th, 2011 | 0 comments
Delivers rich, succulent flavors combined with balanced tannins and smoky oak. Dazzles with knockout aromas of wild raspberry, truffles, and anise. Deep & dark flavors of boysenberry liquor and ripe blueberry mingle with the melted toffee and vanilla cream (oak) as well as an opulent, voluptuous, full-bodied, strikingly concentrated, pure silk style. This wine is still young but will meld together for a graceful complex experience and exciting offering over the next 3+ years, peaking around 2014 in our estimate. This wine is guaranteed to thrill with veal lasagna, pizza, lamb curry or any grilled meat.

Its dark plum/ruby color is followed by a knock-out nose of blue fruit, black cherries, macerated raspberries, and blackberries. On the palate it’s sweet and broad with notes of espresso, dark fruit and cocao, with a velvety texture as well as opulence, complexity, and length.
