Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
The Flight
2owc
Bottle (6)

Wines from The Big Dog Collection. Our central coast consignor has two purpose-built subterranean cellars with redundant temperature and humidity controls. All but a few bottles were purchased on release and winery-direct, stored impaccably.

"The 2016 The Flight is gorgeous. Dark, brooding and closed in on itself, the 2016 is going to need a number of years to be at its very best, but it is incredibly beguiling today. Plum, black cherry, lavender, blood orange menthol, and a host of more mineral-driven notes punctuate this super-expressive wine. This is a decidedly tannic and powerful edition of The Flight. I can't wait to see how it ages." (98 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct. 2018)

"Composed roughly of two-thirds Merlot with 5% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the medium to deep colored 2016 The Flight opens with bold, expressive notions of wild blueberries, warm plums and boysenberries with touches of black raspberries, spice cake, violets, dark chocolate and potpourri with a hint of menthol. Full-bodied, rich, spicy and jam-packed with energy, it has beautifully plush tannins texturing the multilayered blue and black fruits, delivering a very long, perfumed finish." (97+ pts. Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Wine Advocate, May 2019)
