Vintage Character The 2014 vintage in Oakville, Napa Valley delivered outstanding conditions for ripening, with a warm, dry growing season that resulted in wines of remarkable concentration, purity, and finesse.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Awarded an impressive 96 points by Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, Screaming Eagle 'The Flight'—formerly known as 'Second Flight'—is a proprietary red blend primarily composed of Merlot, complemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The wine opens with enticing aromas of ripe black cherry, plum, violet, and a touch of graphite, reflecting the signature elegance of the estate. On the palate, layers of red and black fruit intermingle with hints of licorice and cocoa, supported by supple tannins and a seamless, silky texture that glides into a long, mineral-accented finish. Its refined structure and depth make it a versatile partner for dishes such as roast duck with cherry sauce, herbed lamb chops, or aged Comté cheese, showcasing its adaptability across a range of cuisines.
