What the experts say...

As impossible as it might seem, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon takes things to another level. An exquisite, celestial bouquet melds into endless layers of fruit as this rich, voluptuous wine blossoms on the palate. Full-bodied and seductive, the 2007 conquers all of the senses with its head spinning, beautiful personality. As always, Screaming Eagle is a bit more restrained next to Napa Valley's other heavy hitters, yet the pedigree of this opulent vintage comes through in spades. A kaleidoscope of aromas and flavors flows through to the creamy, textured finish. I have tasted the 2007 several times recently. It was always beenY.perfect. My only issue with the 2007 is that it appears to be shutting down just a touch. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027.

Information about domain Screaming Eagle

The Napa Valley is an American wine-growing region in Napa county, California. It is deemed to be one of the United States' most prestigious wine-producing areas with a heritage that dates back to the 19th century. It enjoys a Mediterranean climate. Charles Krug was the first to create a winery in the region in 1861. Since then, many leading French names have joined him, including Moueix, Rothschild, Moët et Chandon, Taittinger and Mumm. Screaming Eagle is an estate in the Napa Valley, located in Oakville and founded in 1989 by Jean Phillips. This small winery is perched on the top of a hill overlooking the vineyard. In 2006, the estate was bought by two sports managers who hired a new oenologist and embarked on a mission to replant the vineyard. The wine is aged in new (65%) French barrels for two years. The majority is sold in assignments via mailing list, as only a small quantity is available. Robert Parker graded the 1997 vintage 100/100, with the wine achieving the same a decade later in 2007.
