Screaming Eagle Napa Valley Cabernet 2021 (750ml)
Screaming Eagle Napa Valley Cabernet 2021 (750ml)
An iconic Napa Valley Cabernet that marries power with remarkable poise. The 2021 vintage opens with beautifully layered aromas of blackcurrant, ripe plum and dark cherry, woven through with graphite, cedar and a whisper of violet.
On the palate, it’s rich yet impeccably composed — dense dark fruit framed by ultra-fine tannins and a seamless thread of freshness. There’s depth here, but also lift and precision, carrying through to a long, resonant finish with notes of cocoa, espresso and crushed stone.
A wine of presence and quiet confidence. Decant if opening young, or cellar with patience — it will reward both.

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. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni , Issue date: December 2023. Drinking window: 2027 - 2046.

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. I wouldn't expect too many fireworks right on release (although it will offer pleasure), but it should hit its stride about 7-8 years after release and have a long life.
