Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford Napa Valley 2015

Reviews

Deep dark ruby garnet colour with opaque core, purple reflections, delicate brightening on the rim. Peppery, savoury dark berry confit, a hint of cardamom, pleasant precious wood savouriness, multi-faceted bouquet with floral nuances. Sweet, pronounced fruit, dark berry confit, elegant and harmonious, fine nougat touch, silky, supporting tannins, in a way a Margaux from the Napa Valley, great length, chocolatey touch in the aftertaste, great ageing potential.

99 -Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -

Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon leaps from the glass with gorgeous floral notes of red roses and lilacs over a core of black and red cherries, crushed black currants and baking spices plus hints of iron ore and dusty earth. The voluptuous, rounded, soft and sexy fruit slinks across the palate with incredible seamlessness and expression. Make no mistake, it is full-bodied and decadently powerful, but with a myriad of aromatic nuances, finishing long, layered and boldly perfumed.

98 -Jeb Dunnuck -

The inky colored 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is a beauty that shows a richer, more masculine, structured style compared to the 2014. Blackcurrants, smoked herbs, dark chocolate, and graphite notes all emerge from this power packed, rich, full-bodied beauty that has sweet tannin and a great finish. This is a heavenly bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon that comes from some of the oldest vines in the valley, in the J.J. Cohn Vineyard on the western side of Rutherford. I’d hide bottles for at least 3-4 years and it’s going to shine for 20-25+ years.

91 -Decanter -

Scarecrow carries a high price tag which seems to justify an extracted style of wine that can be quite tiring. There's a lot of oak as well as black fruits on the nose here; it's powerful and ripe with a hint of eucalyptus. Hefty and burly, it's a bit of a bruiser on the palate, with immense concentration and a chocolatey grip. It clearly lacks some freshness and finesse, but there is impressive weight of fruit alongside a long and warm alcoholic finish.
