SCREAMING EAGLE
This microscopic winery located near the Oakville Crossroads, below the hillside vineyards of Dalla Valle and Vine Hill was the brain child of Jean Phillips. Screaming Eagle became California's leading cult wine when the first vintage, the 99-point 1992, was released. Production is small - 135 cases of the 1993, 175 cases of the 1994, and 225 cases of the 1995. The original cult wine, Screaming Eagle has performed well in auction markets for decades and this offering is rare: Screamer with bottle age, including the inaugural 1992 and the 100-point 1997.
Screaming Eagle--Vintage 1992
Napa Valley
One very lightly nicked label and one lightly torn back label
"This operation's debut vintage is the extraordinary 1992 Cabernet Sauvignon, one of the greatest young Cabernets I have ever tasted. The wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, and aged in 60 new oak.The 1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon is exceptionally impressive. The wine's opaque purple color is followed by a sensational nose of jammy blackcurrants and subtle toasty oak. As stunning as the aromatics are, the wine reveals even greater richness and intensity on the palate, offering up layers of stunningly proportioned, ripe, intense fruit, full body, great purity, and an inner-core of sweet, creamy, highly extracted blackcurrant/cassis fruit. The tannin is nearly concealed behind the massive extract and richness. All the component parts are brilliantly focused and in balance. The finish is awesome! This is a spectacular debut release that should age effortlessly for 20 years." Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #102 (Dec 1995)
