SCREAMING EAGLE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2001
NAPA VALLEY.
U. 2 X BN.
ONLY 450 CASES WERE MADE OF THIS BLEND OF 88% CABERNET SAUVIGNON, 10% MERLOT AND 2% CABERNET FRANC FROM FORMER PROPRIETOR JEAN PHILLIPS’ VINEYARDS JUST SOUTH OF THE OAKVILLE CROSSROADS. THE SPECTACULAR DENSE BLUE/PURPLE COLOR REMAINS OPAQUE. THE WINE DISPLAYS THE HALLMARK CREME DE CASSIS, FLORAL AND LICORICE NOTES THAT ARE SO PURE, VIVID AND INTENSE, AND WHICH HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PART OF THIS VINEYARD’S CLASSIC TRADEMARK. WITH GREAT PURITY, A FULL-BODIED MOUTHFEEL AND EVEN MORE THICKNESS, POWER AND DENSITY THAN I REMEMBER, THIS WINE HAS PUT ON WEIGHT, DEVELOPED MORE STRUCTURE, AND LOOKS LIKE A CANDIDATE FOR 30 MORE YEARS OF AGING POTENTIAL. THIS IS A BRILLIANT WINE, MUCH IN KEEPING WITH THE LEGENDARY STATUS OF THIS PRODUCER. MAY 2011 WA 99

SCREAMING EAGLE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2008
NAPA VALLEY.
SCUFFED LABEL
THE ESTATE’S 2008 CABERNET SAUVIGNON BURSTS FROM THE GLASS WITH CONSIDERABLE RICHNESS AND PURE DEPTH. THE SPRING FROSTS LOWERED YIELDS NOTICEABLY RESULTING IN A WINE THAT IS A BIT DARKER AND HEAVIER THAN IS THE NORM. THE REST OF THE VINTAGE WAS ON THE WARMER SIDE, WHICH GAVE THE WINE MUCH OF ITS RIPENESS AND BODY. MOCHA, ESPRESSO, LICORICE AND SWEET SPICES ALL WRAP AROUND THE PALATE. NEXT TO THE OTHER WINES IN THIS TASTING, THE 2008 IS A BIT BURLY. THE MIND-BENDING FINESSE OF THE BEST VINTAGES IS MISSING. ANTICIPATED MATURITY: 2015-2028. DECEMBER 2012 WS 94 WA 95
