2008 Screaming Eagle – Napa Valley’s Cult Cabernet at Its Peak

The 2008 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon is a rare treasure from California’s most coveted winery. Produced in minuscule quantities from Oakville’s gravelly soils, this vintage epitomizes the balance of power and grace that has made Screaming Eagle the benchmark for California Cult Wines. With its limited availability and unmatched pedigree, the 2008 release is one of Napa Valley’s most collectible wines.

Tasting Notes

The wine opens with soaring aromatics of blackberry, cassis, and violets, layered with hints of graphite, mocha, and tobacco leaf. On the palate, it is expansive yet refined, offering layers of dark fruit, licorice, and a touch of spice. Silky tannins provide structure, while a mineral-etched finish underscores its remarkable finesse and aging potential.

Winemaking & Vineyard Details

The 2008 Screaming Eagle is composed primarily of **Cabernet Sauvignon**, with small amounts of **Merlot** and **Cabernet Franc** depending on vintage selection. The wine was fermented in stainless steel before aging for nearly 20 months in 100% new French oak barrels. The Oakville estate’s gravelly, well-drained soils and meticulous farming yield fruit of extraordinary purity and character.

Investment & Collectibility

The 2008 Screaming Eagle is among the most collectible Napa Valley releases, consistently commanding attention from connoisseurs and investors alike. With limited production and high global demand, it remains one of the most valuable wines in the world. Perfect for your collection.

Vintage Specifics & Accolades

The **2008 vintage** in Napa Valley was marked by lower yields but excellent ripening, producing wines of intensity, concentration, and structure. Screaming Eagle excelled in this vintage, earning critical acclaim across the board.

Vinous

The 2008 Screaming Eagle is a model of elegance. Endless layers of sweet, perfumed fruit caress the palate in this captivating, utterly seductive wine. The finesse and silkiness of the tannin is something that is truly unique among the world's great wines. If Grand Cru Burgundy were made in Napa Valley, it would taste like Screaming Eagle. A delicate, classy finish lets the sheer purity of the fruit come through beautifully here. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni, Issue date: December 2011. Drinking window: 2015 - 2028.
