Description

The Scarecrow 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon emerges from Rutherford’s iconic terroir in California’s Napa Valley, offering an extraordinary expression of this celebrated region’s winemaking prowess. Crafted by renowned winemaker Celia Welch, this bottle has earned acclaim from critics like Jeb Dunnuck, who awarded it a perfect 100 points, praising its unparalleled depth and complexity. The Wine Advocate further reinforced its status with a 98+ rating, highlighting its rich yet elegant profile that balances power with refinement.

Sourced exclusively from Scarecrow’s western-edge vineyard nestled against the Mayacamas Mountains, this full-bodied red wine captivates with its lush layers of dark fruit—think velvety black cherry and jammy blackberry—intertwined with earthy spice notes and a subtle mocha undertone from meticulous oak aging. On the palate, it delivers a seamless marriage of concentrated flavors and polished tannins, creating a luxurious mouthfeel that lingers long after each sip. While ready to drink now for its immediate decadence of ripe berry and cocoa tones, this Cabernet Sauvignon is designed for cellaring. Its structured elegance promises even greater complexity over two decades when stored properly, making it a standout investment for collectors or those seeking a timeless wine experience.

Whether you’re hosting an elegant dinner or celebrating a special occasion, this wine’s bold yet approachable character shines with rich dishes like grilled steak or dark chocolate desserts. At 14.5% alcohol by volume, it offers generous warmth without overpowering balance—a testament to Napa Valley’s exceptional growing conditions.

With limited availability in our Fine & Rare collection, securing a bottle of Scarecrow’s 2021 vintage ensures you’ll savor one of California’s most celebrated Cabernets today while preserving its potential to evolve into an even more remarkable expression over time. This is not just a wine—it’s a legacy crafted for those who demand excellence in every glass.
