The Scarecrow winery has priced M. Etain at $125/bottle. The un-rated wine is from the 2008 vintage, and is available in 2-bottle cases (maximum 2 cases).
From a collector's perspective, anything Scarecrow puts out is highly desirable. But does M. Etain make sense for a wine investor?
Consider that the Grand Cuvee, Scarecrow, received a (92-94) score from Robert Parker, which is his lowest score for any Scarecrow wine. What would we predict the second wine to score? It's anyone's guess, but further consider that the year 2008 had big problems for the Napa Valley, including a devastating spring frost, and a summer drought. The bottom line is that it was very difficult for anyone to make a great wine, and M. Etain is unlikely to offer wine investors a significant profit.

I wonder if buying the 2008 is what it takes to get future allotments though.
actually my invitation is too buy the 2009 vintage.
