Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 750ml

The 2016 vintage gave Napa Valley an ideal, even growing season, and Screaming Eagle responded with one of its finest modern wines. This Oakville estate Cabernet Sauvignon, with a little Merlot and Cabernet Franc, received perfect 100-point scores from James Suckling, Wine Advocate and Vinous, plus 98 from Decanter and Jeb Dunnuck. Suckling called it "so refined and polished." Bright blackberry, kirsch and warm blackcurrant lead, layered with lavender, roses, wild sage, dark chocolate and crushed rock. The palate is medium to full-bodied, fine-grained and remarkably fresh. Gorgeous now, it has the balance to age gracefully for 25 to 30 years.
