The Most Coveted Wine Brands Of All Time Duo
BIG in every sense of the word - color, flavor, and finish. From two top-quality producers, these rare, coveted high-end wines boast brand names that speak for themselves. This collection includes one bottle each of:
1993 Screaming Eagle Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
This is a remarkable wine. The wine reveals an opaque purple color, as well as a rich, jammy, pure nose of blackcurrant/cassis fruit intertwined with scents of minerals and high quality, spicy oak. The wine offers a cascade of lavishly rich, opulently textured, super-extracted fruit that is beautifully buttressed by oak and sweet tannin. Remarkably long, pure, and rich, this is a compelling Cabernet Sauvignon with no hard edges. Perfectly balanced, marvelously concentrated, and exciting, look for this wine to drink well young, but keep for 25 years.
Located near the Oakville Crossroads, just below Dalla Valle, it created quite a stir among the handful of Cabernet lovers who were able to latch onto a bottle when proprietor Jean Phillips released her debut wine, the 1992 vintage. It is unquestionably one of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignons ever made in the Napa Valley. Availability is next to impossible, as there were only 135 cases of the 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon made. A blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc, this wine is made by winemaker/consultant Heidi Barrett. Before his death, Gustav Dalla Valle also provided considerable input to this vintage.

1994 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild Pauillac
Arguably the most renowned wines on earth, the classified growths of Bordeaux continue to epitomize the power and complexity Bordeaux blends are capable of. While most wines here are based on Cabernet Sauvignon, both Merlot and Cabernet Franc play important roles in adding layered complexity to the finished wines, and allow winemakers in each commune within the region to use the blend that is best suited to their unique combination of soil and meso-climate.
