I think this just edges out the Myriad NV... incredible QPR. Nice work @Mike Smith , you’re a magician — 6 years ago
Love the use of some botrytis in this wine. It adds so much texture and weight to it and develops more complexity as the Riesling ages. Out of the few vintages I have had, 2014 seems fairly ripe but still well balanced and can hold up to a myriad of dishes! — 8 years ago
Purple ruby. Blueberry, black cherry, dry , ripe tannins, plump juicy fruit that opens up gorgeously during the hour we had to enjoy with a myriad of dishes: rabbit terrine, biche casserole, caïons… — 11 years ago
Dug deep in the cellar to find this one. Letting it age for 5 years, really improved the quality of this Mike Smith product. It was in 2013 (the 2011 vintages) that we discovered his Myriad and Quivet labels and have never been disappointed with his output. While 2011 wasn’t a great year overall for the industry, this was still high class, but no comparison to his 2013-2015 vintages. — 5 years ago
Kind of fat with a little rs. Myriad of flavor. — 6 years ago
A baby. So strange. Smelled like fresh espresso beans and flowers and white fruit plus a myriad of other crazy shit. Far out wine. Very structured and seems age worthy. I get the hype — 8 years ago
A little Jura funk on the nose, medium body, much richer than most Jura reds I've tried, of course still very pretty. Extremely textual, a myriad of flavours and purity of fruit - it's delicious. — 10 years ago

Some wines are divisive because of the wine maker, others draw criticism for style or marketing or some other of a myriad of reasons. As much as I love my wine lover brethren the "haters gonna hate" description is very apt in our community. Screaming Eagle is one of those wines for sure. The prevailing criticism is that it doesn't merit the tariff or something similar. Well....this is my first SC since the '97 and it was absolutely f'n amazing and profound. Tremendous depth with bright, lively fruit, rich gravely soil, smoke and camphor. A difference maker. — 7 years ago
A nondescript roll across the tongue, this Bordeaux runs quickly into a myriad of light fruity flavors. With an acidic after bite, the wine finally fills your nostrils with the familiar tight pungent smell of red wine. — 11 years ago

I look forward to seeing where this goes in the next 5 years. Jammy and berries all over. — 5 years ago
