Screaming Eagle Winery
Screaming Eagle Winery is an iconic and highly sought-after American wine brand located in Oakville, Napa Valley, California. Established in 1986 by Jean Phillips, the winery has gained legendary status for producing some of the most coveted and expensive wines in the world.
Screaming Eagle is primarily known for its limited-production Cabernet Sauvignon, which has achieved cult status among wine enthusiasts and collectors. The winery's flagship wine, the Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon, is highly acclaimed for its exceptional quality, complexity, and incredible aging potential. It is characterized by its intense and concentrated fruit flavors, refined tannins, and remarkable balance.
The winemaking process at Screaming Eagle is meticulous and focused on producing wines of utmost precision and elegance. Grapes are harvested by hand and undergo a combination of traditional and innovative winemaking techniques. The wines are aged in French oak barrels, with a careful selection of cooperages to enhance the wine's structure and contribute subtle nuances.
Due to their limited production and high demand, Screaming Eagle wines are highly allocated and difficult to acquire. Their exclusivity, combined with consistently high ratings and critical acclaim, has elevated the brand's reputation to extraordinary levels. In addition to their flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, Screaming Eagle has occasionally produced small quantities of a second wine called "Second Flight." This wine offers another expression of their vineyards and winemaking prowess, often providing an opportunity for enthusiasts to experience the essence of Screaming Eagle at a relatively more accessible level.
