2021 Screaming Eagle, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 1×1.5L

Vinous 99/100

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. [Antonio Galloni, 12/21/2023]
