Rare new release from cult winery Scarecrow. Limited.previous vintage 94 Points Robert Parker: "The Cabernet Sauvignon M. Etain is in essence a second wine, but it sure doesn’t taste like one. Its deep purple color is followed by pure black raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, dusty, loamy soil notes, extraordinary depth of fruit, ripeness and good acidity. This opulent, round beauty is ideal for drinking over the next decade or more."

It’s de rigeur to dismiss modern Napa Cab as minimal variations on the same predictable theme.....but I defy anyone to sway my opinion that this wine delivers hedonistic pleasures similar in feel to the first time I saw a bikini clad Cheryl Ladd fight the bad guys on a yacht in her network debut on Charlie’s Angels back in ‘78. It’s that viscerally delicious.

Really tight on opening whereas the 2012 I had earlier this year was so approachable on opening. Still, it’s great and I just felt the need for something like this tonight. Hard not to love this wine.

Dark red berries with a hint of herbs and smoky vanilla. Well balanced with a velvety cocoa and jammy finish. Spectacular!!

Super delicious. Ranks up there with the grand vin 'scarecrow'. Supple soft and robust at the same time. Bits of cassis, cinnamon, Christmas fruitcake and spice. What Napa cab should be. Super high quality juice and cuts through ribeye like butter

A fantastic wine! Dark jam on the nose and baked blueberry pie. I can go on and on with this juice - well structured and balanced (more masculine than the Second Flight).
