Scarecrow 2009 is a Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon from the historic J. J. Cohn Estate in Napa Valley. K&L Wine Merchants notes the estate's pre-phylloxera St. George rootstock and old vines, while Vinous and Wine Spectator reviews on the same page describe a polished but cellar-worthy 2009 vintage.
Tasting Profile
- Nose: Vinous notes black cherry, violet, mint and anise.
- Palate: Lush, seamless and voluptuous, with pure dark fruit, mineral detail, bitter chocolate and espresso nuances in the cited Vinous review.
- Finish: Very long and suave, with supple tannins and strong early appeal, while Wine Spectator adds layered currant, blackberry and black-licorice character.
Best For
