Robert Parker(94-97) out of 100...The 2006 Scarecrow (still in barrel) is a bold wine but, again, the quintessential elegance that seems to be a characteristic of this site is well-displayed. The wine has notes of crushed rock, creme de cassis, cedar wood as well as some licorice and tobacco leaf. This is a beautiful wine of superb purity, depth, and broad, concentrated flavors that are full-bodied but in seamless harmony. This Scarecrow should evolve for 25-30 years."
Wine Spectator "96 out of 100...Beautifully crafted, ripe and spicy, with juicy currant and black cherry fruit that's supple and well-defined. Plush, smooth and complex, offering depth, range of flavor, texture and length. Drink now through 2015. 312 cases made." -
