SCREAMING EAGLE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2008
NAPA VALLEY.
SCUFFED LABEL

THE ESTATE’S 2008 CABERNET SAUVIGNON BURSTS FROM THE GLASS WITH CONSIDERABLE RICHNESS AND PURE DEPTH. THE SPRING FROSTS LOWERED YIELDS NOTICEABLY RESULTING IN A WINE THAT IS A BIT DARKER AND HEAVIER THAN IS THE NORM. THE REST OF THE VINTAGE WAS ON THE WARMER SIDE, WHICH GAVE THE WINE MUCH OF ITS RIPENESS AND BODY. MOCHA, ESPRESSO, LICORICE AND SWEET SPICES ALL WRAP AROUND THE PALATE. NEXT TO THE OTHER WINES IN THIS TASTING, THE 2008 IS A BIT BURLY. THE MIND-BENDING FINESSE OF THE BEST VINTAGES IS MISSING. ANTICIPATED MATURITY: 2015-2028. DECEMBER 2012 WS 94 WA 95


1 BT. PER LOT $3,500 - $4,000
