WINEMAKER NOTES
2012 Screaming Eagle Second Flight - Collectible Oakville Napa Valley Red Wine
The 2012 Screaming Eagle Second Flight, now known as The Flight, is an extraordinary Bordeaux-style red blend from one of Napa Valley's most coveted cult wine estates. Produced in Oakville, this exceptional vintage combines the richness of Cabernet Sauvignon with the elegance of Merlot and aromatic complexity of Cabernet Franc. Originally introduced as Screaming Eagle's second wine, The Flight has established its own distinctive identity, offering collectors a rare expression of the estate's celebrated terroir and uncompromising winemaking philosophy.
Tasting Notes
The 2012 Second Flight reveals an expressive bouquet of black cherry, cassis, blueberry, and ripe plum, complemented by violets, mocha, white chocolate, and subtle graphite. Additional nuances of tobacco, licorice, savory herbs, and delicate spice emerge with aeration. The palate is full-bodied and beautifully layered, delivering concentrated dark fruit supported by polished, velvety tannins and vibrant freshness. Its remarkable balance of richness and elegance leads to a long, sophisticated finish with lingering notes of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, and mineral complexity.
Winemaking and Vineyard Details
Produced from Screaming Eagle's prestigious Oakville estate in Napa Valley, the 2012 Second Flight is composed of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and 9% Cabernet Franc. Unlike many vintages of The Flight, which are predominantly Merlot-based, the 2012 features a slightly higher proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, contributing additional structure, depth, and aging potential.
The estate's Oakville vineyard benefits from exceptional growing conditions and meticulous vineyard management. Careful fruit selection and precision winemaking preserve the distinctive character of each grape variety while creating a seamless expression of the estate's renowned elegance and concentration.
Investment and Collectibility
The 2012 Screaming Eagle Second Flight occupies a distinguished position among collectible Napa Valley wines. Its association with the legendary Screaming Eagle estate, limited availability, and outstanding critical reception make it particularly desirable to collectors. The exceptional 2012 vintage further enhances its appeal, offering a mature expression of the estate's signature refinement. Its balanced structure and concentration support continued cellaring under appropriate conditions.
Vintage Insights and Accolades
The 2012 Napa Valley vintage is widely celebrated for its favorable growing conditions, generous fruit concentration, and beautifully balanced wines. An extended, relatively even growing season allowed Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to achieve excellent ripeness while retaining freshness and aromatic definition. The resulting Second Flight displays remarkable richness, polished tannins, and impressive longevity.
