Only had a Screaming Eagle 2000? once. I remember saying it was like drinking puppies. (We were only allocated a bottle!) Made with the classic Bordeax blend, one wonders if it has the legs for the test of time, like my Margaux. Congratulations on the score. How many did you get?
I'v always thought the Cakebread whites are some of the most classic of their Calif style. The Reds always dependable. The Nickel & Nickel single vineyards taste all over the map. IMHO based upon the few I have tasted, a good restaurant wine but not for the cellar.
