Screaming Eagle Description
The 2021 Screaming Eagle captivates the senses with its remarkable depth and complexity. Gleaming in the glass with an intense, opaque hue, it entices with a seductive aroma that unfolds layers of dark cherries, ripe plums, and blackberries, interwoven with nuances of mocha, grilled herbs, and leather. Each inhalation reveals new dimensions of its character, inviting the taster to delve deeper into its intricacies. On the palate, it delivers a symphony of flavors, with luscious fruit concentration balanced by refined tannins and well-integrated acidity. Notes of pure cassis and dark fruits dominate, accompanied by hints of graphite and lead pencil, adding depth and structure to the wine. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a lasting impression of elegance and sophistication. The 2021 Screaming Eagle is a true masterpiece, showcasing the exceptional quality and finesse that define this iconic Napa Valley estate.
Jeb Dunnuck: 96-98+ Points
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.
Vinous: 98-100 Points
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
