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 in Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Scarecrow’s 2018 reveals a dense purple hue as well as an incredible bouquet of pure crème de cassis, toasted spices, chocolate, darker currants, and graphite. This carries to a full-bodied, dense, off-the-charts sexy 2018 that has the vintage’s purity and freshness backed up by flawless balance, a layered mouthfeel, and building yet elegant tannins. This cuvée is hard to resist given its texture and wealth of fruit, but it will ideally be given 3-5 years and should evolve for 30 years or more. |
