2017 Scarecrow, Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford 1x750ml

Robert Parker 97

Deep garnet-purple colored, the 2017 Scarecrow opens with notions of warm cassis, baked plums, black raspberries and boysenberries with accents of dried mint, pencil shavings and fragrant soil plus a waft of cast iron pan. Full-bodied, firm and grainy, it has a solid backbone of fantastically ripe tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and mineral laced. [Lisa Perrotti-Brown, 10/10/2019]
