Dancing Hares Tasting Notes
The unique varietal make-up of the 2006 vintage gives the wine a high level of complexity, and the softness makes the wine very approachable right now. Aromas and flavors of candied cherry, dark chocolate, baking spices, and smoke should persist for years to come, while the wine continues to evolve. This wine can be enjoyed immediately upon opening the bottle, and should stay strong for 10+ years. If drunk young, Dancing Hares will become softer and more expressive with at least an hour of decanting.

Wine Spectator
Intense and at times rustic and chewy, with a woodsy, herbal edge to the extracted dried currant, blackberry and black licorice flavors. Full-bodied and marked by chewy tannins, but the flavors flow freely on the finish.Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2011 through 2020. 300 cases made. —James Laube, 93 points

Wine Advocate
The 2006 Dancing Hares is an intriguing blend of 58% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 17% Cabernet Franc. This wine displays chocolatey, sweet, smoked herb, plum, black cherry, and currant notes, a nice, fleshy mouthfeel, low acidity, and sweet tannin. It is an attractive wine that avoids the rustic tannins that some 2006 Bordeaux varietals have. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. —Robert Parker, 90 points
