Screaming Eagle 2020 “The Flight” Proprietary Red, Napa Valley 98 Points

James Suckling 98 Points: “Aromas of blackberries, red and black currants. Dark roses and perfume. Medium to full-bodied with super crunchy energy and brightness. Very fine tannins. Elegant and precise. So subtle and complex, it’s really something. A blend of 64% Merlot and 36% Cabernet Sauvignon. Needs four to five years to open and come together.“

Vinous 97 Points: “The 2020 The Flight is classy and polished from the very first taste. Aromatic and understated, the 2020 offers a distinct feeling of classicism in its mid-weight structure. Crushed flowers, herbs, and spice lead into a core of red/purplish fruit. The 2020 is a seriously impressive wine. Readers should expect a more lifted, restrained style than is the norm. Drinking window: 2025-2035.”
