2023 Scarecrow M. Etain Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2023 Scarecrow M. Étain Cabernet Sauvignon is shaping up to be one of Napa Valley’s premier “second-label” cult wines and arguably one of the strongest M. Étain releases to date. Sourced from the legendary J.J. Cohn Estate in Rutherford and crafted by superstar winemaker Celia Welch, the 2023 blend is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 5% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot. It benefited from a long, cool, drought-ending growing season that delivered exceptional balance, concentration, and aromatic purity. The profile is classic Rutherford: dark currants, blackberry, violet, graphite, espresso, vanilla, and polished oak, with a plush, velvet-textured palate and powerful but refined tannins. Critically, the wine has already earned major praise, including 97 points from Jeb Dunnuck and 94 from Vinous, placing it at the very top of Napa’s high-end Cabernet category for the vintage. Compared to flagship Scarecrow, M. Étain is generally more approachable earlier, slightly more fruit-forward, and significantly better value while still carrying much of the estate’s prestige and vineyard pedigree. Community sentiment among collectors consistently positions M. Étain as one of the best luxury Napa buys below the flagship cult bottling tier.

2015 BV Georges de Latour Private Reserve
We are pleased to offer the 2015 BV Georges de Latour Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, a benchmark Napa Valley wine and one of the most storied names in American winemaking. Crafted from estate-grown fruit in the Rutherford AVA, this flagship Cabernet continues to reflect over a century of tradition and excellence. The 2015 vintage showcases deep aromas of blackberry compote, cassis, and dark chocolate, layered with hints of espresso, graphite, and cedar from extended aging in French oak barrels. On the palate, it is full-bodied and impeccably structured, with polished tannins and a long, harmonious finish. This wine received 96 points from James Suckling, who praised its “beautiful polish and balance,” and 95+ points from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, noting its “complex, layered expression and aging potential.” It is a wine of both power and elegance, ideal for cellaring or enjoying with a fine meal. Beaulieu Vineyard, founded in 1900 by Georges de Latour, played a pivotal role in establishing Napa Valley’s reputation for fine wine. During Prohibition, it was one of the few wineries permitted to produce sacramental wine, allowing it to thrive when many others closed. The Georges de Latour Private Reserve was first introduced in 1936, and under the guidance of legendary winemaker André Tchelistcheff, it became Napa’s first cult Cabernet. Today, winemaker Trevor Durling continues that legacy, crafting wines that honor tradition while embracing innovation. This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a piece of Napa Valley history in an outstanding vintage.
