Screaming Eagle Second Flight Oakville 2010 750ml

Second Flight is the second wine of Screaming Eagle, the Oakville estate that became the definition of a Napa cult Cabernet, and it offers a rare look at the property's style. The 2010 marks a turning point: according to Wine Advocate it was the first vintage made by winemaker Nick Gislason. The blend is 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot and 13% Cabernet Franc. Vinous described it as "all about grace," with sweet red berries, raspberry, mint, violets and lavender on a silky, polished frame, while later notes point to plum, cassis, mocha and cedar. A cool Napa season gave it lift and refinement. Drink now through the early 2030s.
