Producer Information

Scarecrow Estate is a wine producer located in the Rutherford AVA in Napa Valley, California. The flagship estate wine, made from Cabernet Sauvignon, regularly receives glowing critic reviews, achieving a perfect 100-point score from Robert Parker for the 2007 vintage. In the early 1900s, Joseph Judson Cohn, chief of production at MGM, moved to Rutherford and purchased a 180-acre (72-hectare) property. In 1939 John Daniel Jr. took over the property that bordered Cohn’s, home to the iconic Inglenook vineyard founded by Daniel’s great uncle Gustave Niebaum. Daniel convinced JJ Cohn to plant 80 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon (32ha) on his land. This came with the promise that the former would purchase the grapes for the production of his Inglenook wines. On Cohn’s death in 1996, the buildings of the estate came under the control of his grandson, Bret Lopez. He also took on 25 acres (10ha) of partially planted vineyard land, and 2 acres (0.8ha) of original 1945 Cabernet Sauvignon. Lopez decided to make wine under his own label, while continuing to sell grapes to other producers in the region. The wine was named for his grandfather’s time at MGM, where he had worked on the film The Wizard of Oz. Lopez decided on Scarecrow as a symbol of life, American optimism and ultimately, agriculture. The first vintage was 2003.
