September 1, 2023 - Went head to head vs 14 Promontory. Not completely fair as Promontory got a flash decant while the ‘crow was slow ox’d for 5 hours. By the last glass it obvious how completely different both wines were yet both were just stunning. The scarecrow is a beautiful wine, amazing tension and fruit integration. Will continue to improve for many years.

June 16, 2023 - An awesome wine that is aging well. Very smooth and balanced, a superb Napa Cab.

January 1, 2023 - Decanted and drank over three hours. Last glass may have been best, but it was a slow process. Restrained fruit and mineral. Right now, I prefer the 13 and even the 12.

December 1, 2022 - Popped and let air for approximately 45 minutes in the bottle. Beautiful nose of black fruits, a hint of vanilla and spice. In the glass, opaque, dark red in color. Beautiful flavors of black cherry, Cassis, a hint of blueberry? Super young, with many, many years ahead, but couldn’t resist opening. Paired with veal chops, this was a stunner. Drink now, with at least two hours, decant in a flat bottom decanter, or hold for another 3 to 6 years for further development. Beautiful wine!

August 19, 2022 - From magnum.
Slow ox for 4 hours. Poured and shared with friends, so was consumed pretty quickly!
Just as good as it gets for me. The mouthfeel and balance on this wine is impeccable. Pure Rutherford brilliance. Doesn't really need food; just pour and enjoy. Stunning.
