Item Description

2002 Screaming Eagle Cabernet - 99 pts by Robert Parker

The 600-case 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon is at present a proposed blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon 11% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc. A sweet intense bouquet of black currant liqueur interwoven with lilac vanillin and subtle oak scents is followed by a majestic expansively flavored Cabernet that appears to be on a faster evolutionary track than the 2001. Perhaps it is just the broad generous extremely ripe nature of the 2002 vintage but this is a crowd-pleaser that has lost none of Screaming Eagle's extraordinary palate presence and stature. A wine of great aromatic and flavor intensity with a long 60-second finish it is an amazing example of what has become a succession of glorious offerings from this minuscule property located at the intersection of the Silverado Trail and the Oakville Crossroads. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2018. As I indicated last year Screaming Eagle's meticulous proprietor Jean Phillips decided the 2000 was not up to her standards so no wine was produced for that vintage. Although this was a costly choice for Ms. Phillips after tasting some of the appallingly mediocre wines produced by famous Napa wineries it appears to be a wise one that only adds to her credibility.
