Scarecrow 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
4140Product Details
(100 JD) Moving to the Grand Vin 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon,
red wine simply doesn't get any better, and I never cease to be amazed at what
winemaker Celia Welch accomplishes with this incredible terroir. Deep
ruby/plum-hued, with a kaleidoscope-like array of creme de cassis, jammy
blackberries, spicy oak, graphite, and smoked tobacco, with a kiss of
background chocolaty nuances, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a
multi-dimensional, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a flawlessly
layered, concentrated, balanced profile that has to be tasted to be believed.
Given its wealth of fruit and texture, as well as purity and balance, it
already offers pleasure, yet smart money will give bottles 4-6 years in the
cellar, count themselves lucky, and enjoy bottles over the following two
decades.
