97 Points, James Suckling – 96 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The world ‘cult’ gets thrown around too much in wine these days. But there is no other way to describe the world-class uber-rare Malbecs from Screaming Eagle’s former headman, winemaker Jesse Katz. Jesse is an absolute superstar, even before Robert Parker, Jr. proudly declared, ““This may be the finest Malbec I have ever tasted from California.” If you’ve never had a chance to try his wines, you’re not alone. I bought a couple years ago and found a few in the restaurant vault. Whoever gets this collector’s item is going to be thrilled.
