Napa Valley Master Class with Robert Parker; 11/10/2016-11/20/2016 (Napa Valley): During a Screaming Eagle tasting session with Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW and the winemaker. Here we go, the super rare Sauvignon Blanc that sells for 3000+ USD in the market. So, how does it taste? Look at the score and ask yourself how much money you need to shell out to replicate a 90-Point SauvBlanc experience. To me this tastes like any well made mid tier Sauv Blanc that you can pick up from New Zealand or Loire. Citrus, a touch of grass. This is nowhere near a Haut Brion Blanc, Silex, Eisele, etc., but hey, it's a free world.

My favorite vintage of Screaming Eagle Blanc, out of the the 3 tasted. The floral, white peach, lemon and pomelo aromatics were out in front. The wine is fresh, juicy, vibrant, and leaves you with a crisp citrus finish.
