Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 | V96 / WA91-93 / WS91 Rated

Scarecrow 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon

Hailing from Rutherford’s iconic terroir in California’s Napa Valley, this Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to masterful winemaking craftsmanship. Crafted from meticulously tended vines in one of Napa’s most celebrated appellations, this Bordeaux-style blend has earned its place among California’s elite red wines.

A Trophy-Winning Vintage
The 2011 growing season presented unique challenges for Napa Valley vineyards, yet Scarecrow’s winemaking team delivered a standout vintage that has captivated critics worldwide. Acclaimed by Vinous (96 Points) as “one of the most powerful yet refined Scarecrow wines ever made,” this Cabernet Sauvignon also received glowing praise from Wine Advocate (91-93 Points) for its purity of fruit and seamless structure. Wine Spectator echoed its acclaim with a 91-point rating, highlighting its deep complexity and tannic elegance—a hallmark of Rutherford’s signature terroir.

A Masterpiece of Balance
This wine invites you into a world of sensory richness with layers of dark plum compote, mocha-infused spicecake, and licorice root accented by subtle earthy undertones reminiscent of aged cedar and tobacco leaf. While its robust tannins demand patience for full expression (cellar-worthy until 2035+), its refined elegance ensures immediate enjoyment when decanted for an hour or paired with bold dishes like braised short ribs or truffle-enhanced pastas.

Why This Wine Stands Out
– Award-Winning Precision: Combines Napa’s opulent fruitiness with Bordeaux-inspired sophistication
– Rutherford’s Finest: Benefits fromAVA’s gravelly soils that lend unparalleled depth
– Cellar-worthy Treasure: Perfect for collectors seeking wines that reward long-term aging
– Fine & Rare Status: Part of our curated collection of exceptional limited-edition wines

Savor Every Sip
Serve slightly below room temperature to enhance its velvety texture while allowing its complex aromas to unfold fully. At 14.7% alcohol, this wine strikes an impressive balance between richness and restraint—ideal for both casual gatherings and refined dining experiences alike.
