1993 Screaming Eagle Cab. Drank at Press w K, Iana, S, and AG. Such a treat and very interesting as Kplanned it as a comp with the 1991 Harlan. For the first hour or so, we all favored the SE. Super unctuous and round, like velvet in the mouth. Then the wines came to temp and the picture completely changed and we all grew to favor the Harlan. Interestingly, the SE got flabby and very, very sweet. A thought it was bc it lacked the tannins that the Harlan showed. Anyway, SE turned almoSt port-like, with a nose of dates, raisins, and prunes. Amazing and fun to see the change throughout the night. — 10 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 — 11 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. — 10 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. — 10 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. — 11 years ago
