2014 | Scarecrow | Cabernet Sauvignon

Beautifully crafted, this style captures the essence of Rutherford, with a mix of dusty, loamy earth, tar, tobacco and dark berry flavors.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: 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.

• James Suckling: Beautifully crafted, this style captures the essence of Rutherford, with a mix of dusty, loamy earth, tar, tobacco and dark berry flavors. A textural triumph, showing depth and muscle to the tannins and a long, full finish.

Producer Information

Scarecrow Estate is a wine producer located in the Rutherford AVA in Napa Valley, California. The flagship estate wine, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, regularly receives glowing critic reviews, achieving a perfect 100-point score from Robert Parker for the 2007 vintage. In the early 1900s, Joseph Judson Cohn, chief of production at MGM, moved to Rutherford and purchased a 180-acre (72-hectare) property. In 1939 John Daniel Jr. took over the property that bordered Cohn's, home to the iconic Inglenook vineyard founded by Daniel's great uncle Gustave Niebaum. Daniel convinced JJ Cohn to plant 80 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon (32ha) on his land. This came with the promise that the former would purchase the grapes for the production of his Inglenook wines. On Cohn's death in 1996, the buildings of the estate came under the control of his grandson, Bret Lopez. He also took on 25 acres (10ha) of partially planted vineyard land, and 2 acres (0.8ha) of original 1945 Cabernet Sauvignon.
