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.
Possibly the wine of the vintage is the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon which is a more elegant, seamless wine compared to the more brooding and backward 2015. Exhibiting a deep purple color and utterly heavenly notes of crème de cassis, blueberries, white flowers, and graphite, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, insane purity of fruit, ultra-fine tannin, and a finish that won’t quit. While a big, powerful wine, it’s the purity of fruit and tannin quality that sets this incredible wine at the top of the pyramid. Drink it anytime over the coming 2-3 decades. Hats off to winemaker Celia Welch!

The utterly perfect 2014 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon (1,500 cases) has everything one could possibly want in a Cabernet. Inky purple-colored to the rim, with a glorious nose of white flowers, crème de cassis, hints of blackberry and boysenberry, some licorice and forest floor are followed by an enormously concentrated wine with fabulous purity, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and texture, a length of nearly a minute, and stunning flavors, with flawless integration of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol. This is a great, great wine and certainly one of the Cabernet Sauvignons of this vintage. Drink it over the next 25-30 or more years.

The 2014 Scarecrow comes across as understated and refined today. Some of that may be the personality of the year. The 2014 was also bottled relatively recently, which makes me think it could turn out to be even better than this note suggests. Soft, silky tannins and exceptional purity of flavor are two of the signatures in this exceptionally beautiful, captivating Cabernet Sauvignon. Scarecrow can often be powerful and virile. In 2014, however, it is a wine of finesse.
