I would love to put this wine in a blind tasting of all the Cult Cabernets. I wouldn't be surprised if this beat them all. It certainly would finish in the top three. Yes, this includes; Screaming Eagle, Scarecrow, Harlan etc.. It's so full, round, lush, elegant & perfectly ripe; blackberries, black raspberries, blueberries, plum, dark cherries, dark raspberries. Baking spices done just right, sweet lush rich moist dark earth, dry florals, fresh violets, spice/box, powder from crushed rocks, cocoa powder, suede style leather, a hint of stems, dead on acidity and an elegant round finish that doesn't stop. — 7 years ago

If guess a feminine plot of the Côte de Beaune in a warm vintage -in the best sense. Only Josh Jensen. Sheesh! Delicious... — 9 years ago

From the famed Prichard Hill estate vineyard, this 100% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a cult wine, rubbing shoulders with Screaming Eagle, Harlan and Colgin. The nose is typical of Napa Cab, with rich aromas of steeped blackberries, cassis, saddle leather, spice box and carmelized brown sugar. On the palate, it's silky, sexy and nicely balanced. There is a lovely, polished interplay of fine tannins and glycerol, along with darker notes of saddle leather, cedar, and espresso beans. Medium plus finish. — 9 years ago

1996 Screaming Eagle. Third set of reds we tried at house dinner w A&C BG and MR&GR. This wine we tried alongside the '96 Harlan out of magnum. The larger format on Harlan probably amplified its youthful flavor. We hands down loved the Screaming Eagle- supple, nuanced, like velvet in the mouth. Epic! — 8 years ago

This is some *seriously* good Syrah. Right up there in terms of quality with the big wines from Alban Vineyards, Ovid, and Harlan Estate.
Immense fruity palate, but not in an overpowering way. Gobs and gobs of complexity and character to the nose and taste, and a lingering aftertaste that never seems to fade. And the dryness. The dryness and fruitiness in combination will blow your mind with every sip

Astounding wine. Truly astounding. — 10 years ago

At Poggio and it was the most expensive Ital white @ $52. But then Harlan has 5 pages...weird list but Larry is buds with Bill. Scented, tad viscous but nice acidity. Simple good food wine. — 8 years ago

Deeply extracted fruit made this wine a delight from the Harlan family. It required 30 minutes in the glass to open and yet it was surpassed by a younger ornellaia when paired with a rich steak. This wine shows better on its own (without food) IMO. — 9 years ago

It's not as good as the harlan but this behemoth is pleasing like riding a monster truck thru the mud after a boozy tequila shot — 9 years ago
