Professional Ratings

Wine Spectator

“Shows a slightly beefy, muscular persona, with generous dark currant and fig fruit melded with espresso crema, singed alder and warm loam. Broad and dense, with a long tumble of dark earth through the finish, where there's a subtle iron twinge and just enough energy to keep it honest. For fans of the style. Blind 2013 California Cabernet retrospective (February 2023). Best from 2024 through 2038. 1,800 cases made.”

Highlights

100% Cabernet Sauvignon from estate fruit (1,000 cases produced) including some of Napa's oldest Cabernet vines; built for long aging with an estimated 30+ year potential. Aromas and palate deliver crème de cassis, blackberry liqueur and succulent dark fruits alongside bittersweet chocolate, licorice/anise, graphite and pen ink, with forest-floor earth, firm fine-grained tannins, vibrant acidity and a dense, opulent polished finish.

Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2013

Savouring the 2013 Scarecrow serves as a journey through a dreamscape of succulent dark fruits dancing alongside bittersweet chocolate, anise, graphite, and a multifaceted terroir expression. A wine retains its essence not just in taste but how it unfolds on the tongue, and recognized here is a harmonious correlation between firm yet fine-grained tannins and vibrant acidity – bestowing longevity that fits hand-in-glove with graceful aging potential.

An investment in 2013 Scarecrow is an investment in a sublime representation of Napa Valley's viticulture. For those seeking a gem in their fine wines from the USA portfolio, Scarecrow is an essential notch on the collector's belt.

Critical Acclaim

100 Wine Advocate

The prodigious 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, including fruit from some of the oldest Cabernet vines still in existence in Napa. This full-bodied classic displays notes of forest floor, earth, crème de cassis, blackberry liqueur, licorice and some pen ink. It is dense, full-bodied, prodigiously rich, massive in intensity, yet relatively light on its feet. This great ballerina of a wine has extraordinary ripeness but pulls back from the edge before going over the top. There are 1,000 cases of this classic, which should age effortlessly for 30+ years.

97 Vinous

The 2013 Scarecrow is magnificent. Rich, opulent and intense, the 2013 is a prototypical modern Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with tons of ripeness, no hard edges and exceptional polish. A host of ferrous, savory notes abound, but as usual here, Scarecrow is really about the whole package. The 2013 is still recovering from its recent bottling, but it is pretty special, even at this early stage.
