2018 Screaming Eagle Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon

Breathtaking aromas of blueberry, wet earth, black truffle, vine bark and lavender undertones. Full-bodied, yet tight and compressed with fabulous savory and dark fruit flavors. It lasts for minutes on the finish. The classicism in this wine is second to none. Incredible subtlety. Lovely austerity. Beauty in simplicity. Glorious to taste, yet a wine for decades ahead.
Incredible subtlety and freshness in this vintage of Screaming Eagle. This is a majestic, intense red with layers of dark, savory flavors, violets and nuanced earthy elements that are not yet expressing themselves fully. It is more closed than when I tasted it earlier in barrel. This will likely be one of the best vintages for Screaming Eagle given its structure and components,
