Scarecrow - Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 (750ml) Madison CountyThe 2017 harvest notes are a testament to the hard work, dedication, skill and extraordinary intuitive decisions made by Michael Wolf, Celia Welch and their crews at the J. J. Cohn Estate. SCARECROW 2017 VINTAGE Vineyard Manager Michael Wolf: The 2017 vintage is magnificent, and as in 2011, completely unscathed by the tricky turns of Mother Nature. 2017 marked the end of a multi year, drought. Rainfall in Rutherford was 43. 5 inches, a 21% increase
with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel
The organic fruit (from 35-year-old vines) is destemmed
while Falanghina’s other appearance is in our Fiano
our Chablis Premier Cru "Montée de Tonnerre" presents a complex nose with notes of ripe fruits and mineral nuances
Palladio Rosso is elegant on the palate
dried rose petals and toasty oak lingering on its velvety long finish
This location is light and breezy
Ultimately the palate prevails rich in texture with silky caramel apple flavors
Ages in very old 600 litre oak casks and other old oak vats
Only 2% of press wine (unusually low
A subtle application of wood sets off cool and pure aromas of citrus peel
clear concentration this is carrying some heft in the really quite potent dark fruit flavours
