2022 Scarecrow release

Not sure a $600 will ever have a value proposition but agree on your sentiment/takeaway

JasonL · February 5, 2025, 2:43am

Is 2023 suppose to be good? Glad to see they kept it at $600 at least though given 2022 wasn’t the best year.

Those large format prices are a big
“We really don’t want to make these, but for those of you who have to have it here you go”

2016 double mag hammered at HDH in December for $5500 pre-vig. Don’t recall what release was but if it was also 12 x 750ml, it would’ve been $4800

I’ll have some 3-packs to share. PM with interest.

Jason, I do not have any familiarity with the wines at Scarecrow, but here is a thread started by @Roy_Piper, whose opinion I respect a lot, regarding the 2023 vintage in Napa. This thread was started at the end of harvest in 2023, and I have heard a lot of positive comments regarding 2023 from others.

My first vintage was 2018. My last vintage will be 2023. Good vintages to start and end on, I suppose.

Mike_Van1 · February 6, 2025, 12:12am

They didn’t want the 2021 either.

TRe · February 8, 2025, 3:35pm

How much at Costco?

M_Porter · February 8, 2025, 6:12pm

Still haven’t received an email… I’ve purchased a case the last 2 offerings. No way I would get snubbed, right? People are dropping off the list it seems. I want the 2023

Charles_Hetzel · February 8, 2025, 7:30pm

I have a 3 pack to share. I am offered on the 20th. Please DM if interested.

T_Welch · February 8, 2025, 8:49pm

IIRC, the Novato store is selling 3 bottles for $2600. I don’t remember the vintage.

Pat_Esposito · February 8, 2025, 10:45pm

Checking in on the 2011 vintage tonight will report back

B.Williams · February 9, 2025, 12:37am

Would love to hear your thoughts. I have always enjoyed the 11’s in my cellar, fewer producers in that vintage, but solid wines!

Pat_Esposito · February 9, 2025, 4:21am

I would say the fruit was lacking a bit. Excellent finishing, tannins well integrated, but I felt the body was a bit thin. Stored upon release so no issues with the bottle. Will try another sooner than later

jerrymasters · February 11, 2025, 5:26am

Just got mine…$600

J_Galang · February 11, 2025, 7:10am

Is Feb. 18 the first wave or is it Feb. 20?

Scott_Brunson · February 11, 2025, 1:27pm

18th

B.Williams · February 11, 2025, 5:26pm

Thank you for this!

Not typically going to get any fruitier at this point, right?

Honestly, im not that into “fruit-forward” myself and i have been struggling with pulling the trigger on some Scarecrow for the cellar. Also, I was married in 2011 so I have soft spot for that vintage and this sounds like a perfect match.

Your note sounds exactly like what we find in a lot of the 2011’s in our cellar. A fun wine to celebrate with AND enjoy with food, right now!

Cheers!

It’s the 2021. And there’s a 3-pack of 2011 Screaming Eagle for only $8K.
