Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford 2013

Scarecrow is one of the top Napa Cabernet Sauvignons and a standard bearer for the ultra-collectable Cult Californian wine. It 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.

With only a tiny production, of around 2,000 cases, like all top Californian wines most of the production is sold to their devoted, hugely oversubscribed and exclusive mailing list, and little makes it out of the US. Made 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 and includes some of the oldest vines in all of Napa. Planted in 1945, the grapes are sourced from very old, dry farmed vines that are over 70-years-old.
