Screaming Eagle Napa Valley The Flight 2021 (750ml)
Screaming Eagle Napa Valley The Flight 2021 (750ml)
“The Flight” offers a slightly more lifted, ethereal expression of Screaming Eagle — graceful, aromatic and beautifully detailed. Fragrant red and black berries, wild herbs and rose petal lead the nose, layered with hints of sandalwood and subtle spice.
Silky and finely textured, the palate is supple and seamless, with polished tannins and vibrant energy. The fruit feels precise and pure, gliding effortlessly across the palate before finishing long and refined.
Elegant and quietly captivating — a stunning expression of Napa Valley finesse.

The 2021 The Flight is built around a core of Merlot from old vines on cobbly soils at the front of the property. From barrel, the 2021 was quite sensual, perhaps deceptively so. This recent tasting of the finished wine from bottle reveals a powerful, dense Flight packed with dark-toned fruit, leather, tobacco and incense. In many vintages, The Flight is accessible young, but the 2021 is a wine for the cellar. It is one of the best and most complete editions I have tasted. There’s a fair amount of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend and quite a bit more Franc than usual, which contributes to the wine’s personality and overall feel.

I was able to taste the primary components of the 2021 The Flight, all of which showed pure, vibrant profiles as well as sound underlying structure and acidity. It reminds me slightly of the 2019 and will be a beautiful, elegant, incredibly classic example of this cuvée. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, Issue Date: Febuary 2023.
