Scarecrow
About Scarecrow
Scarecrow is one of the top Napa Cabernet Sauvignon’s and a standard bearer for the ultra-collectable Cult Californian wine. This goes toe to toe with the best Cabernets in the world, including fellow Napa legends Screaming Eagle and Harlan Estate, as well as the finest in Bordeaux, being likened to the illustrious Château Margaux.
Only around 2,000 cases are produced each year, and like all top Californian wines, most of the production is sold to their devoted, hugely oversubscribed mailing list. Little makes it out of the US. Supervised by the well-known and much-admired winemaking consultant Celia Welch, the Scarecrow estate “continues to turn out some of Napa’s most profound Cabernet Sauvignons” – Robert Parker (Wine Advocate).
This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the historic vineyard in Rutherford AVA, thought to be the oldest vines left in Napa, with some going back to 1945.

Jeb Dunnuck (100)Pure perfection from Napa Valley, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is, as always, all Cabernet Sauvignon from an incredible site in Rutherford that spent 21 months in 70% new French oak. Incredible aromatics of crème de cassis, darker currants, smoke, tobacco, and assorted floral notes all define the bulk of the bouquet, and it’s full-bodied, with a multi-dimensional, layered texture, ultra-fine tannins, and perfect balance. This is such a magical site, and this wine consistently checks in with the greatest wines of the world. It already offers pleasure yet should have 30 years of overall longevity. Hats off to winemaker Celia Welch and the team at Scarecrow. |
