About this Item

Cabernet Sauvignon, 2010
1 (1 x 1) 750ml

Screaming Eagle is California's original cult wine and still lays claim to the country’s most highly prized and sought after label. The Cabernet-based wine has been produced in tiny quantities from a small, unmarked vineyard in the Oakville AVA of the Napa Valley, since 1992. Due to the small quantities produced and high prices commanded, their wines are considered cult wines. This wine regularly scores top marks from US and International wine critics and is only available on allocation directly from the winery.

Critics Ratings

‘Utter perfection, the 2010 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon (a 610-case blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Merlot and 9% Cabernet Franc; 14.5% natural alcohol) boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with a staggering bouquet of spring flowers, graphite, crème de cassis, kirsch, licorice and subtle toast in the background. Opulent and full-bodied with a multidimensional personality, gorgeous purity and a stunning, flawless texture, this spectacular wine is among the wines of the vintage.’ -Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 100/100 (Oct 2013)

‘Combines deep, firm, rich and potent flavors built around a core of earthy currant, cedar and tobacco leaf, with subtle mocha touches. No denying the power and finesse of this wine, which is very Bordeaux-like in its rustic, muscle-bound personality, somewhat atypical of this vineyard early on. Best from 2015 through 2030. 610 cases made.’ - James Laube, Wine Spectator, 96/100 (Oct 2013)
