A small Sauvignon Blanc plot in Oakville

Screaming Eagle is an estate in the Oakville AVA of Napa Valley. The estate’s address is given as 7557 Silverado Trail, Napa. Its vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, plus a small area of Sauvignon Blanc. The whole vineyard was replanted in 1995 and 34 acres were replanted in 2006. The soils are described as rocky and well drained, gravelly loam on a west-facing slope, and the vineyard is divided into more than 50 blocks.

The first Screaming Eagle vintage was made in 1992. The estate’s flagship is a Cabernet Sauvignon-based red, and annual production of the estate is given as 400 to 750 cases.

The white is made in very small quantities, often one or two barrels in a vintage. We have no case count for the 2016.
