Screaming Eagle 'The Flight' 2020

10 units available online.
Product description

From the exclusive Screaming Eagle estate in Napa Valley comes this relatively new wine made from younger vines. The Flight is simply compelling and a jewel for the collectors.

98 Points - James Suckling

Aromas of blackberries, red and black currants. Green olives, too. Dark roses and perfume. Medium-bodied with super crunchy energy and brightness. Very fine tannins. Elegant and precise. So subtle and complex, it’s really something...It needs four to five years to open and come together.

98 Points - Decanter

Screaming Eagle’s ‘The Flight’ is positively gorgeous in 2020, leading with a plethora of perfumed violets and wild herb notes intermixed with graphite and cedarwood spices. Mediym-bodied offering a purity of redberry fruit flavours redolent of cranberry and raspberry alongside dark cherry, all framed by tantalizing acidity. The crunchy red fruit is balanced by a dazzling minerality, opening up to reveal blood orange, brown spices, spearmint, and pops of lovely blue floral notes. Broad tannins build in stature on the long, sanguine finish.
