2009 Scarecrow 'M. Etain' Cabernet Sauvignon Rutherford

(94 Points  ---  Wine Spectator)

Amazingly complex, firm, dense and concentrated, with a vivid, lively, structured mix of dried currant, mineral, cedar, sage and tobacco notes. Fills out nicely on the finish and holds its focus, ending with a satisfyingly chewy, rich bundle of dark berry fruit. (JL)
