1992 Screaming Eagle \u2013 500 ml \u2013 The Rarest Screamer!!
\nScreaming Eagle\u00a0is California\u2019s original and most sought after cult wine in the world. Produced in tiny quantities from a small vineyard in Napa\u2019s\u00a0Oakville\u00a0appellation, the\u00a0Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine regularly sells for upwards of $3000 plus a bottle and is America\u2019s most expensive regularly produced wine.
\nJean Phillips established the vineyards in 1986, and set about selling fruit to local producers in Napa. After a few years, the decision was made to set up a winery, and the first vintage of Screaming Eagle was released in 1992.\u00a0Robert Parker\u00a0rated this first vintage at 99 points, and cult status was sealed \u2013 since then, the 1997 and 2007 vintages have achieved the coveted 100-point rating from the famous wine critic. Sales are done from the winery through a mailing list, which has been full since 2000 \u2013 and there is a waiting list several thousand names long.
\nScreaming Eagle\u2019s vineyard lies within the Oakville AVA in the southern part of\u00a0Napa Valley. It is planted mainly to Cabernet Sauvignon with some\u00a0Merlot\u00a0and\u00a0Cabernet Franc, and a small plot of\u00a0Sauvignon Blanc. Screaming Eagle\u2019s second wine, Second Flight, is made from the vineyard\u2019s younger vines, and a white wine, the Screaming Eagle Sauvignon Blanc, was introduced in 2012. Although sold initially for $250 a bottle in 2012, this wine quickly reached astronomical prices on the secondary market as well, up to 10 times the release price.
\nIn 2006, Screaming Eagle was famously sold to Stanley Kroenke and Charles Banks for an undisclosed sum, rumored to be upwards of $30 million. Nowadays Kroenke owns Screaming Eagle outright.

\n1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet \u2013 500 ml \u2013 The Rarest Screamer! This small operation is located just below the Dalla Valle vineyard near the Oakville Cross. Screaming Eagle\u2019s Cabernet Sauvignons are going to create quite a stir among lovers of that varietal \u2013 if they are able to latch onto a bottle or two. The estate is owned by Tony Bowden and Jean Phillips one of Napa Valley\u2019s leading real estate agents. With the help of Heidi Barrett and Gustav Dalla Valle this operation\u2019s 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. It is only sold via a mailing list so readers who want to taste one of the most exciting young wines being produced should get on the list. The 175 cases of the 1992 are followed by only 130 cases of the 1993 and a tiny quantity of 1994 as the last two vintages were even smaller in crop size. At present the 1992 can be bought at the following Napa Valley locations: the restaurants Don Giovanni and Brava and at the St. Helena Wine Center and Oakville Grocery. Don\u2019t dilly-dally around on this one. The 1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon is exceptionally impressive. The wine\u2019s 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. Screaming Eagle is one of the most exciting new wineries in California.\u00a0
\nThe story is that there were only 24 bottles produced in this format! How many are left? This will be a classic bottle a rare 99 point first vintage release from the world\u2019s most sought after Cali Cult wine in the world!
