Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 2002

Jean 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. Robert Parker rated this first vintage at 99 points, and cult status was sealed – 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 – and there is a waiting list several thousand names long.

Critical Acclaim

97 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Beautiful floral notes intermixed with creme de cassis, licorice and charcoal jump from the glass of this dense purple-colored 2002. Opulent, broad, full-bodied and more mature than I expected given how this wine showed in its youth, this deep, rich Cabernet Sauvignon is exceptional. However, in this vintage, it has to take a back seat to a number of other cuvees. The final blend was 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc.

95 Wine Spectator

Smooth and seductive, with layers of ripe, rich currant, smoky, toasty oak, and hints of hazelnut, mineral and sage. What's fascinating about this wine is that for all its elegance and finesse, it's very dense and concentrated, with a persistent and focused finish.

92 Wine Enthusiast

Dark, superextracted in fruit, and with oak detailing, the '02 Eagle is drinkable now, due to its soft, creamy mouthfeel. Floods the palate with black cherry, crème de cassis and milk chocolate flavors.
