Post dinner party notes. Third bottle Iโve had of this and by far the best yet. Amazing. Such a complex nose, with roasted herbal notes, dark spicy fruit, earthy mineral iodine notes Tannins just about completely resolved. Length and depth for days. Wow. โ 5 months ago
In an evening of pleasant surprises, this may have been the biggest of them all. Perhaps it shouldnโt have been, but looking at the lineup of legends, can one blame me? Screaming Eagle is one of those wines you read about but rarely see, let alone get an opportunity to drink. An expensive, cult Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville? Hardly original these days (though it could be argued that Screaming Eagle was the OG for the โcategoryโ). But, this was not some anonymous OTT Napa Cab. This was a brilliant, impeccably balanced, varietally correct expression of Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville and perhaps, one of the best Iโve ever had.
The 1997 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing (still) and utterly brilliant with perfectly wisened black currants, brambles, dried leaf, tobacco, Poblano pepper, purple flowers, salmiakki, a lovely mix of cool and warm spices and organic earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, silky and punctuated with pleasant minerals. Looking at the label and seeing 13.8% ABV brings a smile to my face. This wine has remarkable confidence. To say Iโm impressed would be a gross understatement. Iโm smitten. Drink now with some air and enjoy through 2047+. โ a month ago

This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich, complex and extracted. Fruit forward, Nicely balanced and elegant.
This 6 year old Cabernet is already drinking beautifully, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
I've had many different vintages of this wine and it always delivers.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with a nice piece of steak.
A blend of 96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Malbec and 2% Petit Verdot.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
