Tasted from barrel, the 2021 Screaming Eagle dazzles from start to finish. Dark, savory and explosive, the 2021 deftly marries power and finesse like few vintages I can remember tasting. Dark cherry, plum, mocha, grilled herbs, leather and a kick of spice all build in this wonderfully vibrant, layered Screaming Eagle. There's plenty of tannin, but it is elegantly built into the wine's fabric. (AG) (12/2023)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, with 18% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. A tad shy to start, it soon unfurls to offer notes of freshly crushed black and red currants, wild blueberries, and iris followed by nuances of anise, forest floor, mint tea, and pencil shavings. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a very firm frame of exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and wonderful tension supporting the tightly knit black fruit and floral layers, finishing long and minerally. It will need a good 5-10 years to blossom into the real-head turner it promises to be. 98+ (LPB) (5/2024)

As with the Flight, I was able to taste through multiple barrels destined for the 2021 Screaming Eagle. Pure cassis and assorted dark fruits, some classic graphite and lead pencil notes, as well as a beautiful sense of minerality were present in all of the barrels, and this will be a medium to full-bodied, elegant expression of Screaming Eagle. 96-98+ (2/2023)

Screaming Eagle is one of Napa Valley's most famous 'cult wines'. Under the ownership of Stan Kroenke, this vineyard has been replanted and a new cellar has been constructed. The production of Screaming Eagle has remained between 700-1,000 cases. This vineyard, situated on the valley floor at the Oakville Crossroads across the road from the Rudd Estate, encompasses 60 acres, but only a small percentage is used for this wine.
