Screaming Eagle, located in Oakville, Napa Valley, is one of the world’s most prestigious wineries, renowned for its ultra-limited, high-quality Cabernet Sauvignon blends. Founded in 1986 by real estate agent Jean Phillips, it gained fame after a 1992 vintage scored 99 points from Robert Parker. The winery, now owned by Stan Kroenke since 2006, produces ~500-600 cases annually from its 57-acre vineyard, with a focus on meticulous viticulture and traditional winemaking. Its flagship wine, Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon, is known for rich fruit, refined tannins, and exceptional aging potential, commanding prices of $3,000-$4,000 per bottle. A second wine, Second Flight, and a rare Sauvignon Blanc are also produced. The winery’s exclusivity, with a tightly controlled mailing list, and critical acclaim cement its status as a Napa Valley icon.
