Scarecrow from the 2005 vintage is available March 21st-31st at $150/bottle. Buy your entire allocation.
The 2003 vintage received 98 points from RP, the highest score that Parker has given for any inaugural vintage. Released to a lucky few at $100/bottle, the wine was trading at $800 as soon as the Wine Advocate's review was in in the mail. Today, this wine is at least $900.
The 2004 vintage got (only) 95 pts from RP, but the damage from the first year's success could not be undone. The cheapest retailer on wine-searcher.com offers the 2004 Scarecrow at $700, but as with the 2003, there is no shortage of merchants willing to charge $1000.
The 2005 vintage isn't bottled yet, but Parker gave it 94-97 from the barrel. Pre-sales on winecomune.com are the cheapest at $620-$650. A brick-and-mortar wine merchant will charge more. I'm not buying much wine right now, but '05 Scarecrow at $150 gets me reaching for my checkbook.
