1992 was the first ever vintage produced by Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon. Only 175 cases were produced and Screaming Eagle Cabernet was still finding its footing as a luxury wine producer at that time. The 1992 is viewed as a testament to American viticulture. It has blackcurrant notes working with savoury hints of sage and truffle paired with aromas of oak, vanilla and mint, creating a precarious but flavourful balance. It is aged in 60% new oak,unfined and unfiltered.
Its value comes from its impressive flavour profile, scarcity and its repute of being one of Napa Valley’s gems. It was sold for $500,000 at a charity auction in California in 2000.
