Scarecrow 2010

Scarecrow is a celebrated winery in Napa Valley, particularly known for its high-quality, single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon. The vineyard, located in the Rutherford AVA, is planted on old, gnarly vines, some dating back to 1945, on the J.J. Cohn Estate. 2010 was one of the cooler vintages in Napa Valley. However, top producers like Scarecrow were able to manage the challenging weather conditions to produce excellent wines. The cooler year may have led to a wine with slightly higher acidity and a more restrained, elegant character than in hotter vintages. That said, every bottle of Scarecrow is a bit of a legend in its own right. Its production is limited, which contributes to its high demand.
