Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Napa Valley 2008

Oh, yes… today is a day to remember! We scored a rare and utterly fantastic parcel of multiple vintages, 3-packs in their original wood case, 100 Point superstars, and more! Scarecrow is without question one of the finest, most collectible, and prestigious cabernet sauvignons in the history of Napa Valley. Celia Welch is the winemaking superstar behind this coveted Rutherford vineyard bottling. Michael Wolf is the vineyard manager (of course he is!) ensuring the fruit from this revered J.J. Cohn estate reflects the very best that Rutherford, Napa, and beyond has to offer. A singular wine that is always among the top stars in every Napa Valley vintage since 2003 – Scarecrow is a wonder of a showpiece in any collection.

The vineyard sits on the iconic west-side of Rutherford, and was once a part of the historic Niebaum estate where Inglenook was founded. It was the legendary Napa visionary John Daniels, Jr. that originally convinced J.J. Cohn to plant vines on his property, and over the years the fruit has made the wines of Inglenook, Opus One, Duckhorn, and Joseph Phelps’ Insignia better than they otherwise would have been. Oue collection begins in the 99 POINT 2008 vintage, and continues through the nigh-on perfect 100 POINT 2014 bottling that both Jeb Dunnuck and Robert Parker noted as one of their wines of the vintage. Any single one of these bottlings is a worthy, and seriously cult-y, selection – but move with all haste – these are as limited as you might imagine, with competitive pricing that is sure to surprise and delight even the most jaded collector! As ever, only a completed purchase secures the inventory, so no cart hoarding!

Good luck!
