Anne-Marie rated this 92, I gave it 90, so we split the difference. Notes of guava and white melon on the nose. Delicate notes of passion fruit and honeysuckle on the palate. Inoffensive, but lacks a little character and complexity. Having said that, it doesn’t cost a king’s ransom, so, net net, it’s a buy. We purchased this on allocation, so, very pleased with the outcome

Parker’s Rating:
99 POINTS – 2013 SCARLETT RESERVE CABERNET SAUVIGNON

“The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon McGah Family Vineyard Reserve ratchets up everything to a perfect example of Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Beautiful blueberry and blackberry fruit, an extraordinary equilibrium between acidity, alcohol, tannin and wood, stunning purity, a finish that goes on for close to a minute, and a dazzling palate presence from what appears to be an incredible terroir make this an amazing effort in Cabernet Sauvignon. This is magnificent Cabernet Sauvignon and should hit its prime in another 5-7 years and last 25-30.”

Wifey pic and she’s in artsy-fartsy mode, again!
The nose is pure strawberry jam. The palate is sweet, yet earthy. Tannins are completely integrated, with hardly any acidity. Very fruit-forward with red and blue fruits. This should not be cellared beyond 12 - 24 months, besides, it’s not going to go to a better place, given its composition and structure. — 10 days ago

Just a few B Cellars left in stock, nice wine but just overpriced for me at $125.00. All the Mike Smith entry level cabs at 60.00 - $70.00 which include Becklyn, Mcgah , Myriad & Scarlett seem to be a better bang for your buck — 6 months ago

Sometimes you just need a pizza and a great Zin. Check, check. First time with the Scarlett Zin. Floral hints on the nose, surprisingly, and one of the lightest colored zins I can recall. The palate is more true to form, bringing a wave of full bodied fruit. Long, plush finish. Gets better and better in the glass. — 5 months ago
