  1. Scarecrow Wines Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

    Iron Fist in a Velvet Glove.

    Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

    Fruity nose of black fruits, chocolates, coffee, cola, vanilla, licorice, cedar and black pepper.

    Full-bodied and bold with medium acidity.

    Dry and fruit forward on the palate with black currants, blackberries, black plums, figs, dried fruits, coffee, chocolates, tobacco, peppercorn, herbs, light vegetables, earth and black tea.

    Long finish with round tannins, cherries and spices.

    This 9 year old Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is still very young, but already drinking beautifully. Rich, yet elegant. Fruit forward and smooth.

    This Single Vineyard Cabernet is showing lots of chocolate and cola notes. Soft, with great complexity.
    Feels like a high quality Left Bank Bordeaux.

    Delicious stuff, that will continue to age nicely in the next 20+ years.

    Wine Spectator 96 points. Wine Advocate 99 points.

    Good right out of the bottle, and better after 3 hours of airtime. The high alcohol is nicely integrated already.

    It’s always nice to drink these kind of iconic wines. A great sipping wine.

    100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. Aged for 22 months in (80% new) French Oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined.

    15% alcohol by volume.

    95 points.

    $900.

    I have a case of M. Etain 2021 in my cellar….how does it compare? I have not had either yet.

    Stop traffic: Vivino hit 10k reviews or you’ve personally done 10k reviews?

  4. Stupid price. Overrated. Elitist juice nonsense.

  5. So I’m curious if you where to compare this to inglenook rubicon or their cab sav or the Rudd estate cab sav. How would those compare? I don’t think I’ll ever have the privilege to experience such an expensive wine but I have had those 2. Which are around $150-$350. Rudd shares a fence with screaming eagle so I’m just curious on how much better those are than what I’ve tried. Cheers to all the beautiful wine.
