2012 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon – Rutherford’s Cult Classic
The 2012 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon is a defining vintage from one of Napa Valley’s most legendary vineyards. Sourced from the historic J.J. Cohn Estate in Rutherford, Scarecrow has become one of the most sought-after California Cult Wines, prized for its tiny production and extraordinary quality. The 2012 vintage, from one of Napa’s most celebrated harvests, offers balance, depth, and remarkable aging potential.
Tasting Notes
The 2012 Scarecrow opens with intense aromas of blackcurrant, violets, and cedar, layered with hints of cigar box, licorice, and graphite. On the palate, it is both powerful and refined, offering ripe flavors of blackberry, plum, and dark chocolate. Silky tannins and vibrant acidity carry the wine to a long, mineral-driven finish.
Winemaking & Vineyard Details
The Scarecrow estate vineyards were originally planted in the 1940s by J.J. Cohn, with some of the oldest Cabernet vines in Napa Valley. The 2012 vintage is composed entirely of **Cabernet Sauvignon**, vinified with precision and aged for nearly two years in new French oak barrels. The combination of Rutherford’s alluvial soils and old-vine fruit delivers a wine of exceptional character and longevity.
Investment & Collectibility
The 2012 Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon is highly collectible, both for its rarity and its acclaim. With limited production and allocations, bottles are difficult to obtain outside of mailing list releases. As one of Napa Valley’s modern icons, it is an essential addition to any serious collection. Perfect for your collection.
Vintage Specifics & Accolades
The **2012 Napa Valley vintage** is widely considered one of the best of the past two decades, producing wines with richness, balance, and long-term cellaring potential. Scarecrow excelled, with critics praising its finesse and power.
