Scarlett Cabernet Sauvignon McGah Vineyard Rutherford 2016  - First Bottle

Reviews

93 Vinous -
Scarlett's 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is powerful, dense and full of flavor. Medium in body, persistent and nicely layered, the 2016 has a ton to offer. Dark cherry, plum, tobacco, cedar, earthiness and licorice give the wine striking aromatic nuance and dimensions of complexity. The Estate is a classic Rutherford Cabernet long on class and personality. Mike Smith has crafted a gorgeous Cabernet that captures the essence of this site, with an extra kick of raciness that works very nicely.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
This is a massive over-delivering Cab every year, but in 2016 it is really something special. It always sells out in record time, so move quick if you love the rich, hedonistic style of this Rutherford Cab from an estate vineyard adjacent to Andy Beckstoffer's Georges III.

If you’re a fan of any of the opulent Mike Smith wines (Myriad, Carter, Maybach, Becklyn...to name a few), the ones that get the huge scores (and complementing big prices), this HAS to be in your cellar for guilt-free consumption. For an incredibly modest $64.95 you get deep, dark, succulent, lush Rutherford Cabernet from the terrifically-situated McGah vineyard (it is basically in the middle of Beckstoffer’s George III Vineyard!). It drinks like something at least twice the price, really. Awesome.

While we were researching this wine, we couldn't help but notice some of the other 2016s rated 93 points from Antonio Galloni and their relative prices. 

2016 Fairchild Cabernet Sauvignon GIII - $225
2016 O'Brien Estate Unrestrained Reserve - $225
2016 Alpha Omega Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Dr. Crane -$225
2016 Hertelendy Cabernet Sauvignon Hertelendy Legend - $225
2016 Purlieu Cabernet Sauvignon Teucer - $220
 
We’re afraid to say much more, since this is already so in demand. Get it! Good luck!

About the Producer

A prime time slice of land in Rutherford next to Beckstoffer Georges III and a 100-point winemaker Mike Smith is the recipe for success with Scarlett. Tough to go wrong with anything they make.
