Rich Napa fruit leads the 2022 Scarecrow M. Etain Cabernet Sauvignon, with layers of dark currant, red cherry and pomegranate threaded through cedar, tobacco, mocha and a gentle earthy pull, all wrapped in a sleek, velvety texture that feels both luxurious and composed. The wine has impressive energy for such an opulent style, finishing long and resonant with warm spice and a touch of chocolate.

M. Étain is Scarecrow’s distinct Cabernet-based cuvée from the historic J.J. Cohn Vineyard in Rutherford, conceived not as a mere “second wine” but as its own expression of this cult estate. Typically a Bordeaux-style blend led by Cabernet Sauvignon with portions of Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot, it marries luxurious Napa richness—cassis, ripe berries, warm spice and cocoa—with a notable freshness, fine-grained tannins and a more immediately approachable, suave texture than the grand vin, while still offering serious cellar potential.
