Screaming Eagle 2021 is among the nine 2021 Napa wines that earned 100-point scores.
The 2021 vintage could turn out to be the best year since 2013, with wines that are big, deep and concentrated, balanced with acidity and firm in very fine-grained tannins.
Screaming Eagle produces up to 12,000 bottles per vintage, making it one of the rarest and most sought-after wines in the world.
The estate consists of approximately 60 acres in Oakville, with vines planted in well-drained alluvial soils.
Founded in 1986, Screaming Eagle quickly achieved cult status, with wines that command astronomical prices at auction.
The wine is predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon with small amounts of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged in 100% new French oak.
Screaming Eagle showcases extraordinary concentration, purity, and balance, with velvety tannins and remarkable length.
The wine is known for its approachability even in youth, while having the structure to age for decades.
Access to Screaming Eagle is extremely limited, with a waiting list for the mailing list.
It represents the pinnacle of Napa Valley winemaking and American wine prestige.
