2005 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon – Napa’s OG Power Play

This isn’t a bottle. It’s a damn moment.

The 2005 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon is the Napa flex—deep, dark, and devastatingly smooth. With a 98-point score from Robert Parker and a track record of making grown collectors cry, this vintage is Old Hollywood glamour meets Oakville grit.

Crafted from 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, it’s the kind of wine that shows up in tuxedo energy but throws punches like a street fighter. Layers of cassis, graphite, smoke, licorice, and that sweet, sweet tannin glide—this is the legend that built the Screaming Eagle mythos.

🍇 TASTING NOTES:

• Color: Dense, inky purple—the kind of hue that tells you to cancel your plans.

• Nose: Crème de cassis, cedar, toasted bread crust, and a kiss of embers and earth.

• Palate: Full-bodied but elegant AF—think blackcurrant, licorice, and dark berries doing ballet on your tongue. Powerful but polished. Loud, but never vulgar.

• Finish: Long, silky, unforgettable. Like that one-night stand you still think about.

“Pauillac-like bouquet… fabulous layers of fruit, noble sweetness, and outstanding length.”
Call it Bordeaux’s bad-boy American cousin—with better abs.
