2014 Scarecrow, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford 1x750ml

Vinous 96

The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon is a heady, exotic wine. Blackberry jam, cloves, chocolate and espresso are all dialed up to the maximum. It has aged well, but it is also peaking and in the zone for drinking today. The oak imprint is rather strong, which lead [Antonio Galloni, 21/01/2025]

Robert Parker 100

The utterly perfect 2014 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon (1,500 cases) has everything one could possibly want in a Cabernet. Inky purple-colored to the rim, with a glorious nose of white flowers, creme de cassis, hints of blackberry and boysenberry, some licorice and forest floor are followed by an enormously concentrated wine with fabulous purity, a skyscraper-like mid-palate and texture, a length of nearly a minute, and stunning flavors, with flawless integration of acidity, tannin, wood and alcohol. This is a great, great wine and certainly one of the Cabernet Sauvignons of this vintage. Drink it over the next 25-30 or more years. [Robert M. Parker, Jr., 21/12/2016]
