Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville

Oakville

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon, with 18% Merlot and 7% Cabernet Franc in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. A tad shy to start, it soon unfurls to offer notes of freshly crushed black and red currants, wild blueberries, and iris followed by nuances of anise, forest floor, mint tea, and pencil shavings. The medium to full-bodied palate delivers a very firm frame of exquisitely ripe, fine-grained tannins and wonderful tension supporting the tightly knit black fruit and floral layers, finishing long and minerally. It will need a good 5-10 years to blossom into the real-head turner it promises to be.

The 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon, with 18% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc in the blend, is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of stewed plums, warm cassis, and tapenade spill from the glass, giving way to an undercurrent of cardamom, charcoal, bay leaves, and graphite. The medium to full-bodied palate is taut with muscular black fruit and savory sparks supported by grainy tannins and well-knit freshness, finishing long and earthy.

The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon has 15% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc in the blend. Deep garnet-purple in color, it comes galloping out of the glass with notes of blackberry pie, stewed cherries, and creme de cassis plus wafts of wild sage, cedar chest, and crushed rocks. The medium to full-bodied palate shimmers with bright, intense black fruit flavors framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and seamless freshness, finishing with epic length. Wow!
