Scarecrow hits the ground running with bold expressions of creme de
cassis, wild blueberries and chocolate-covered cherries plus hints of
dried herbs, tilled soil and crushed rocks with a fragrant undercurrent
of Indian spices. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is laden with layer
upon layer of tightly packed mineral-sparked black fruit flavors, framed
by super plush tannins and absolutely seamless freshness, finishing long,
long, long. This expression of the venerable J.J. Cohn
vineyard?including vines planted in 1945 by John Daniel and dry
farmed?is pure magic. 2,000 cases were made.
