Love this wine! Thick long lasting legs. Bouquet rich with raspberry and blueberry, very jammy! Smoooth flavors with a rich finish, slight hints of oak and charcoal on the back end. Great wine!!! — 2 months ago
1 hour decan(some fine sediment). A splendid dark purplish garnet color. On the nose: Inviting notes of dark fruit, potting soil, mocha java, clove, pencil lead. Taste: silky, rich mouthcoating wine with dark cherry/ blueberry, currants, earth, dark chocolate and a never-ending graphite espresso finish. YUM! — 2 months ago

We had the 2012 vintage on 10/10-11/26. Black fruit and some earthy, woody scents on the bouquet. BlackBerry, plum, currant and mild spice on the palate. Fruit forward, New World, well balanced, medium to full bodied. A good Napa Floor Cab. Tannins smoothed out. Decant and ready to drink — a day ago

In an evening of pleasant surprises, this may have been the biggest of them all. Perhaps it shouldn’t 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 “category”). 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 I’ve 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 I’m impressed would be a gross understatement. I’m smitten. Drink now with some air and enjoy through 2047+. — 2 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Fruity nose with black fruits, cedar, chocolates, tobacco, mediterranean spices, licorice peppercorn, coffee and cola.
Full-bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and very fruity with blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, dried fruits, vanilla, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, spices, light earth and black tea.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
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.

A spectacular, powerful wine. Fabulous bouquet. Dark cherries, black raspberries, and dark chocolate. Silky smooth with a satisfyingly long finish. Still has lots of cellaring potential, but pretty fabulous now. — 15 days ago
