The consistently beautiful 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a dense black/purple color as well as that classic Screaming Eagle nose of creme de cassis spring flowers and a hint of licorice. A blend of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon and 17% Merlot this beauty should age effortlessly for 20-25 years. Screaming Eagle's vineyard has undergone a major replanting (35 acres were replanted in 2006). Today there are only 15.5 acres of the original plantings that made this property so famous. The potential size of 54 acres will certainly increase production if it all turns out to be as high in quality as what has existed in the past.
