A fine wine is like fine jewelry, the quality and value determines the taste. Whether you’re a wine connoisseur or simply like to enjoy a glass of cabernet sauvignon over a nice meal, Screaming Eagle is the ultimate choice and a perfect Christmas present for any person who appreciates quality and class.
Founded in 1989 by Jean Philips, Screaming Eagle is definitive cult classic of Napa. The first vintage of its fine wine came in 1992 and was released in 1996, growing mostly Cabernet, Merlot and Cabernet Franc on its little plot of land. The remarkable wine supply is extremely high in demand, its current production rides around 500 cases a year. The quantities are so limited, there is a lengthy waiting list with only few spots available to purchase the wine from the winery. The majority of that is sold only to members on the notoriously difficult to join mailing list, reserved at three bottles a person, as well as online or on-site auctions precisely where those with the substantial income can splurge.
With the hefty price ranging from $1300 to $2500+ a bottle, it can still be difficult to get your hands on a bottle let alone a case. Screaming Eagle’s celebrity status and notable reputation certainly makes it an investment purchase to enjoy.
