Cabernet Sauvignon
Scarecrow Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford / J.J. Cohn Vineyard
The singular Scarecrow wine from 80-year-old dry-farmed organic Rutherford vines — J.J. Cohn Vineyard Cabernet consistently earning 97–100 points from Wine Advocate for the extraordinary natural concentration and Rutherford Dust mineral character that eight decades of continuous organic dry-farming produces in the most critically coveted Rutherford estate program.

Cabernet Sauvignon
M. Etain Cabernet Sauvignon
Rutherford / J.J. Cohn Vineyard
Scarecrow's second label maintaining the J.J. Cohn Vineyard's 80-year organic dry-farming character at a more accessible price point than the flagship — M. Etain Rutherford Cabernet showing the same old-vine concentration and Rutherford Dust mineral character at an earlier drinking window and slightly broader production level.
