Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon (3 bottle OWC) 2021

Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon (3 bottle OWC) 2021 Wine Robert Parker (Wine Advocate) - The 2021 Scarecrow is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from a vineyard on the western edge of Rutherford, nestled back against the Mayacamas range. Boasting a fabulous nose of deep, dark, black cherries and earthy-spicy notes accented by a touch of mocha-like oak, this full-bodied wine is ripe, rich and velvety. There's ample density and concentration, but the wine still retains a sense of freshness on the long, elegant finish. One of the more fabled wines in Napa Valley, Scarecrow is based on a 25-acre vineyard in western Rutherford, nestled up against the Mayacamas. Today, the property is owned by Bret Lopez, grandson of movie executive J.J. Cohn, who originally purchased the acreage as a summer retreat for his family. The oldest existing vines were planted at the request of neighbor John Daniels (Inglenook) in 1945, who guaranteed Cohn he would purchase the fruit. About one-third of the vineyard is dry-farm
