Screaming Eagle

Napa Valley, California, USA · 1986'den beri

Screaming Eagle is one of the most coveted and mythologized wineries in the world, nestled in the Oakville appellation of Napa Valley, California. Founded in 1986 by real estate agent Jean Phillips, the estate produced its first commercial vintage in 1992 — a release that would change American wine history forever when critic Robert Parker awarded it a near-perfect 99 points. The winery produces a Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant Bordeaux-style blend in extremely limited quantities, typically just a few hundred cases per year, ensuring that demand perpetually and dramatically outstrips supply. Acquired in 2006 by Stan Kroenke and Ann Walton Kroenke, the estate has undergone thoughtful restoration and viticultural refinement under the stewardship of winemaker Nick Gislason. A bottle from the celebrated 1992 vintage once sold at auction for half a million dollars, cementing Screaming Eagle's status as a cultural artifact as much as a wine. The label speaks to a deeper American ambition — the belief that a single patch of Napa soil, tended with obsessive care, can rival the grandest châteaux of Bordeaux.
