ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 99 POINTS - "Produced from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon leaps from the glass with gorgeous floral notes of red roses and lilacs over a core of black and red cherries, crushed black currants and baking spices plus hints of iron ore and dusty earth. The voluptuous, rounded, soft and sexy fruit slinks across the palate with incredible seamlessness and expression. Make no mistake, it is full-bodied and decadently powerful, but with a myriad of aromatic nuances, finishing long, layered and boldly perfumed."
ANTONIO GALLONI 98+ POINTS - "Celia Welch crafted two extraordinary wines at Scarecrow in 2015. Sadly, production is down by a punishing 50%, the combined effects of bad weather during flowering and the redeveloping of a number of parcels. Welch has lowered the oak influence in these wines, and, together with vineyard manager Mike Wolf, moved the vineyard towards dry farming, which was possible for the first time in 2015. Scarecrow is one of the most pedigreed sites in Napa Valley. I can hardly wait to see what the future brings here."
"The 2015 Scarecrow is stunning. Powerful and intense, but with more detail than it has shown in the past, the 2015 is positively dazzling. Super-ripe red cherry, pomegranate, mint, blood orange and exotic spice infuse this deep, resonant Cabernet Sauvignon. Over the years, winemaker Celia Welch has dialed back the oak by giving the wine less time in barrel and lowering toast levels, while moving towards dry farming in the vineyard. Those are some of the choices that have resulted in a truly epic Scarecrow. "
