2018 Scarecrow "M. Étain" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Bid on this bottle of 2018 Scarecrow "M. Étain" Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (97JD, 94VN, 93RP, 92WS). Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2018 M. Étain is another gem of a wine, and while it’s billed as a second wine of Scarecrow, it has a style all its own. The 2018 is reminiscent of a great Saint-Julien, with its purity and elegance paired with textbook Cabernet notes of crème de cassis, crushed violets, earth, and liquid rock-like minerality. It’s just as gorgeous on the palate and has a full-bodied, seamless, ultra-pure texture, ripe yet present tannins, and a great finish. As with the Grand Vin, it offers pleasure today but is going to be better with 3-5 years of bottle age. ... this is another brilliant release from winemaker Celia Welch." (01/2021)
