2 39A One Thousand Points of Wine Wine critic Robert Parker has always said he would prefer to underestimate a wine s quality than to overestimate it. When he awards a perfect score of 100 points, you know it is an extraordinary wine of profoundly complex character that will age for decades. Raise your paddle high for the rare opportunity to take possession of ten perfectly scored California wines. We take great pride in bringing exceptional wines to our auction each year, but it will be hard to top 1,000 points of wine! 2001 Lokoya Mt.

3 39B Screaming Eagle Jean Phillips, a former real estate agent, bought the 57-acre Oakville vineyard in 1986, which was planted to a mix of varieties, most of which Phillips sold to various Napa wineries, except approximately 80 vines of Cabernet Sauvignon. For this one acre of Cabernet, Phillips sought the opinions of Robert Mondavi Winery employees on the commercial potential of her wine before hiring Richard Peterson as a consultant, and subsequently met Peterson s daughter, Heidi Peterson Barrett, who became Screaming Eagle s first winemaker. The entire vineyard was replanted in 1995 to three varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. The 1992 vintage, released in 1995, through a combination of very low production numbers and highly positive reviews (wine critic Robert Parker awarded the wine 99 points), resulted in Screaming Eagle becoming one of the most celebrated and expensive wines in Napa Valley.
