99 points, the 2019 vintage with 99.3 points on average remains the second-best Screaming Eagle ever rated.100 points, the 2019 vintage is inherently approaching perfection and will be right on the heels of 2016 as the greatest vintage ever.However, it should be said that the Wine Advocate's final scoring will obviously affect this. This gives a preliminary average of 99.5 points, second only to the 2016 vintage, which scored 3 x 100 points (!!). James Suckling awards the 2019 vintage 99 points, while Vinous gives it a perfect 100 points - something they have only done twice before, namely for the 20 vintages. The 2019 Screaming Eagle is so new to the market that we still await the Wine Advocate's critique and rating, but that does not hold back Antonio Galloni of Vinous or James Suckling. But it does suggest that Screaming Eagle tops this… The 2019 vintage is rated by Vinous as being a potential great vintage in Napa Valley - in fact they give the 2019 vintage (across the region) 94-97 points, indicating a great vintage. In addition, future investment in the estate is also assured, and the foundations for Screaming Eagle to continue as the king of Napa Valley remain in place.Ģ019: Great Vintage In Napa - Even Greater For Screaming Eagle
The price of Screaming Eagle has increased dramatically since 2006, partly because Screaming Eagle itself is pushing up the price - something that surely will continue in the future. We can only speculate whether Screaming Eagle is just a passion project for Kroenke, but if it is, it is still hard to imagine that there is not business in it for him too - you could say it is in his DNA. In addition to financial strengths that can contribute to growth and brand building, marketing skills and general business flair are not unimportant. As we know from the world of Champagne, it is not without importance for a producer/brand to have some big muscles behind it, as is the case for example with Moët & Chandon, owned by the LVMH group, or Perrier-Jouët, owned by Pernod Ricard. It is thus not a businessman completely without capacity or format, who in 2006 partially took over Screaming Eagle and in 2009 became 100 % owner. In addition, there are more than 5.5 million square metres of property, mainly shopping centres and the like. Stanley Kroenke's portfolio includes the Denver Nuggets (NBA), Colorado Avalanche (NHL), Colorado Rapids (Major League Soccer) and Arsenal (Premier League), but he is also one of the largest landowners in the US by far - second only to the US government and a few other property owners. 183 on Forbes' 2022 list of the world's richest - a ranking, by the way, that does not include his marriage to Ann Walton Kroenke, heir to Walmart and a multibillionaire herself. Kroenke has partly made his fortune through sports (not athletics) and real estate, and at age 74 he ranks No. Multi-billionaire Stanley Kroenke is no Mr. Today, only 6,000-10,000 bottles of Screaming Eagle are produced per vintage. In 2006, another turning point for Screaming Eagle came when Jean Phillips sold the estate to financiers Charles Banks and Stanley Kroenke, the latter in particular being of particular interest - both to Screaming Eagle, but also to you as an investor. The 1992 vintage was the first (commercial) release of Screaming Eagle and the combination of extremely few bottles produced and positive reviews, including 99 points from Wine Advocate, which is spectacular for a first wine, resulted in Screaming Eagle becoming one of the most recognised and expensive wines from Napa Valley. Jean Phillips reached out to the already famous Robert Mondavis employees for advice on the commercial potential of her land, and shortly thereafter hired her first winemaker. Most was quickly sold off to other producers in the area, with the exception of 0.4 hectares planted with Cabernet Sauvignon. The former real estate agent, Jean Phillips, acquired about 22 hectares of vineyards in Oakville, Napa Valley, California in 1986.
