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. — 11 years ago

Juicy dark red fruits with medium tannins. Ripe but balanced and not over the top. Tasting great right now. — 9 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 — 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.

Tremendous depth with bright, lively fruit, rich gravely soil, smoke and camphor. A difference maker. — 9 years ago
