Merchant's description

Screaming Eagle stands as a paragon of American winemaking excellence, particularly renowned for its exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon wines hailing from Napa Valley’s Oakville AVA. Established in the early 1980s, this iconic estate garnered global acclaim under the visionary stewardship of founder Jean Phillips. This release from the 2003 vintage reveals a beautiful nose featuring notes of flowers and spices. The palate is characterized by silky-smooth tannins, seamlessly integrated cedar, and a touch of dusty white pepper from the oak barrel.
