(TheDrinksBusiness) - Robert Parker’s California critic Antonio Galloni has spoken out about the trading of cult wine Screaming Eagle on the secondary market, dubbing it “unhealthy”.
Screaming Eagle continues to command incredibly high prices at auction
Speaking exclusively to the drinks business, Galloni, who rates Californian wines for Parker’s bi-monthly publication The Wine Advocate, said: “The Screaming Eagle phenomenon is not healthy.
“Very few people buy Screaming Eagle to drink it. It has become a pure instrument of speculation, which is sad, as it’s a great wine.”
The San Francisco Chronicle’s wine critic Jon Bonné agrees that the wine, made in Oakville in the Napa Valley, has become too mythical for its own good
