Item Description

  • Private tasting and tour of the Scarecrow Vineyard for 4 people

This exclusive California winery offers highly collectible Cabernet Sauvignon wines that are produced only in small quantities and enjoy a cult following. Also included, is a bottle of Scarecrow Napa Valley Cabernet 2018 vintage. The 2018 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon shows fully ripe aromas, vibrant and effusive, of blackberries on the vine, dusty cherries, and a sense of fresh earth. On the palate, the wine broadens to express its Rutherford character with bright red and blue fruits as well as darker tones of mocha and vanilla. 

Harvested completely by hand at night, between September 24 through October 19, 2018, this wine is entirely grown at the J.J. Cohn Estate in Rutherford, Napa Valley. The berries were destemmed, optically sorted, and fermented in small batches. After approximately 24 days on skins, the fruit was gently pressed and transferred to French Oak barrels, of which roughly 80% were new barrels. The juice was kept in these barrels for about 10 months, then assessed for quality before the first assemblage was created in summer 2019 and the blend was finalized in January 2020. After a total of approximately 22 months in French
oak, the wine was bottled in late July 2020 without fining or filtration. A total of 1800 cases were produced.
