WINEMAKER NOTES
2009 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon – Rutherford’s Cult Classic
The 2009 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon represents one of Napa Valley’s most prized cult wines, sourced from the historic J.J. Cohn Estate in Rutherford. Known for its meticulous farming of old Cabernet Sauvignon vines planted in 1945, Scarecrow continues to deliver small-production wines of extraordinary depth, elegance, and age-worthiness.
Tasting Notes
The 2009 vintage bursts with aromas of cassis, black cherry, and violets, layered with notes of graphite, tobacco, and subtle earth. The palate is rich yet refined, with velvety tannins supporting flavors of dark plum, licorice, and espresso. A mineral-laced finish highlights its Rutherford terroir and exceptional balance.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
Scarecrow is made from **100% Cabernet Sauvignon** sourced from the estate’s legendary old vines, among the oldest in Napa Valley. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel, followed by **20–22 months of aging in 100% new French oak barrels**. With extremely low yields, each vintage reflects a deep connection between vine age, terroir, and precise winemaking.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2009 Scarecrow quickly established itself as a highly collectible vintage, with limited allocations and consistent critical acclaim. Its rarity, pedigree, and secondary market demand make it one of the most desirable California Cult Wines. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Specifics & Accolades
The 2009 Napa Valley vintage benefited from a long, moderate growing season that produced wines of excellent balance, concentration, and purity. Scarecrow thrived under these conditions, delivering a Cabernet Sauvignon of both power and finesse.
