Sourced from a premier vineyard in the heart of Oakville, Napa Valley, Screaming Eagle is one of the most highly sought-after wines in the world. The 2016 is an incredible follow-up to the equally thrilling 2015 release. It is flamboyant and hedonistic with vibrant notes of blackcurrants, red berries, violets, smoked herbs, cigar box and earth. It is medium to full-bodied, exceptionally fine-grained and imbued with an incredible sense of energy and freshness. An unbelievably high-quality release with almost certainly 3 or 4 decades worth of evolution.
