2011 Scarecrow – Rutherford Cult Cabernet from Historic J.J. Cohn Vineyard

The 2011 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon embodies the exclusivity and heritage of one of Napa Valley’s most sought-after cult wines. Sourced from the historic J.J. Cohn Vineyard in Rutherford, this vintage reflects both the challenges and triumphs of the growing season, showcasing the precision and resilience of Scarecrow’s winemaking.

Tasting Notes

The 2011 Scarecrow opens with lifted aromas of red currant, dried rose petals, and cedar, accented by hints of tobacco leaf, sage, and mineral undertones. On the palate, it offers a medium-bodied profile of cherry, black tea, and subtle spice, supported by elegant tannins and refreshing acidity. A graceful, terroir-driven expression of Rutherford Cabernet.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

Sourced from the legendary J.J. Cohn Vineyard, originally planted in the 1940s, Scarecrow focuses on small-lot, meticulous farming. The 2011 vintage, produced in a cooler and wetter year, highlights careful fruit selection and delicate vinification. Aged in French oak barrels, the wine reflects both the challenges of the season and the pedigree of its vines.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2011 Scarecrow is a testament to the estate’s commitment to excellence even in difficult vintages. With its rarity, limited production, and strong cult following, it remains one of Napa Valley’s most collectible California Cult Wines. Perfect for your collection.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Rating (91-93)A notable success in an extremely irregular vintage (even more so for Napa’s valley floor vineyards), the 2011 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon possesses a deep ruby/plum/purple color, and a slightly lighter weight and less of a serious foundation of structure than the 2010. However, the wine’s purity and hints of kirsch, black currants, berry fruit and toasty oak are well-displayed and well-integrated into this seamlessly constructed effort. It is on a relatively fast evolutionary track so drink it over the next 10-15 years. Reviewed by Robert M. Parker, Jr., Issue date: October 31, 2013. Drinking window: 2013 - 2028.

Vinous

The 2011 Cabernet Sauvignon is unquestionably one of the wines of the vintage. Though I am not surprised, as the 2011 was magnificent from the outset. What a thrill it is to find it in such great shape today. Layered, aromatic and super-expressive, the 2011 is a wine of tremendous stature. Dark fruit, chocolate, sage and dried flowers all meld into the racy finish. The 2011 is quite simply outrageous. Readers lucky enough to own it should be thrilled. What a wine!
