Scarecrow

Monsieur Ètain Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon

2008 M. Étain Cabernet Sauvignon from the Cohn Ranch in Rutherford, Napa Valley. Second label from Scarecrow. Inaugural vintage. Made by Celia Welsh. 15% alcohol. Literally translated, “Monsieur Tin.” The Tin Man to go along with Scarecrow. Still waiting for The Cowardly Lion. Maybe a nice Chardonnay? Gorgeous dark garnet color. Aromatic nose of espresso and cocoa. Some nutmeg and baking spices as well. Just beautiful. Killer palate of sweet dark chocolate-covered cherries and black plums. Nuances of cedar, vanilla and that mocha that I love. Silky tannins round out a pleasurable experience. Lush and velvety texture. Lingering finish. MUCH better than I remember this wine which was opened closer to release. 10 years has been a godsend. As many of you know, I don’t drink much Cabernet, even though I love it. But when I do, I’m reminded of how much I truly love the grape. — 8 years ago

Napa Valley Chardonnay

This is obviously not what delectable thinks it is; just one of my fave beers from a tiny microbrewery near the Welsh border. Light, frothy, creamy, comforting. — 8 years ago

Absolutely refreshing and approachable while showcasing a lovely palette of flavors. Pure and silky, like a dry Riesling but with the aromatics and perfume you'd want from a Muscat. This won't weigh you down, yet has the character for you to remember it long after having enjoyed it! Wonderful by itself, or with any number of cheeses (I had sharp welsh cheddar, brie nangis, and point Reyes Toma.) — 11 years ago
