Tasting Notes:
Bordering California's Screaming Eagle property is the Game Ranch Vineyard, an exclusive three acre gravely vineyard that produces low yields and dense Cabernet fruit. This small production wine is world class showing classic Napa Valley flavors of black cherry, intense anise, chocolate, currant, sage and mocha flavors. Smooth but firm tannins, this wine can be enjoyed now if decanted and can last at least a decade if cellared. Enjoy with your favorite Cabernet dishes such as steak, steak and steak!

Goldschmidt Vineyard Cabernet
Screaming Eagle, Harlan - We've Got One Better
— LIMITED AVAILABILITY —
($63.75 per bottle / $765.00 per case) Colt California Cabernet Sauvignon in the last decade has become harder to get and harder to afford. Many of these wines deserve their reputation and are truly world class. One of these wines is Screaming Eagle, which sells for more than a $1,000.00 per bottle. At that price, most people don't drink such a wine for everyday consumption and instead save it for only special occasions such as weddings and milestone anniversaries.
The good news is you don't have to spend four figures to get Screaming Eagle pedigree or quality. At literally a fraction of the price, we have found a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon that borders the Screaming Eagle property, literally a sand wedge away. The wine is the 2005 Goldschmidt Vineyard's Game Ranch which is an exclusive three acre gravely vineyard in the Oakville district of Napa Valley. This small vineyard produces low yields with dense fruit. Flavors of black cherry, intense anise, chocolate, currant, sage and mocha flavors explode on your palate. Smooth but firm tannins on the finish clearly display the wine's quality. Delicious!
Only 200 cases of this single vineyard diamond in the rough are made each year. FYI, we have heard that this wine is about to get significant press and it will not last. Drink it over the next decade and enjoy with classic Cabernet Sauvignon dishes such as steak, steak and steak! Enjoy! Order Here.
