2018 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley, USA.

Screaming Eagle Winery is a California wine estate producing limited amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon wine. Considered the penultimate cult wine, these command the highest prices for American wine. The winery is located in Oakville, California, in the Napa Valley.

“I loved it!” winemaker Nick Gislason told me when I asked him for his thoughts on the 2018 vintage. “Everything is just really perfumey with a lot of verve and a lot of freshness. It’s a wholesome vintage, if that makes sense? The canopies were big and healthy; there was a lot of life in the vineyard. After 2017, it felt like the bloom that comes afterward.” (Lisa Perrotti-Brown).

The flagship 2018 Screaming Eagle shows a more medium to full-bodied, elegant style with plenty of underlying structure. Perfumed blue fruit, rose petal, wild strawberry, and graphite notes all define the bouquet, and it shows the pure, focused, structured side of the vintage nicely. All about class and elegance, this balanced beauty needs to be forgotten for at least 4-5 years and should evolve for 2-3 decades. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck. Tasting date: January 2021. Drinking window: 2025-2056.

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, the 2018 Screaming Eagle soars out of the glass with vibrant notions of ripe blackberries, black cherries and fresh red and black currants plus wafts of licorice, candied violets, cedar chest and clove oil with a beguiling touch of sea spray. Medium-bodied with jaw-dropping elegance, the palate is finely textured and yet built like a brick house with a super taut backbone and exquisitely knit acidity. The intense black and red fruit flavors are accented by layers of mineral and floral notions, finishing with incredible length and depth. Undeniably stunning. Reviewed by Lisa Perrotti-Brown.

(Rating 98+) The 2018 Screaming Eagle is fabulous. Cabernet Sauvignon is so expressive today. Creme de cassis, lavender and spice open first, followed by sage, lavender, rose petal and a whole range of more floral and savory notes that convey freshness as well as energy. A wine of total class and sophistication, the 2018 is a knock-out from the very first taste. There is an exoticism that I find especially alluring. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni on December 2020. Drinking window: 2026-2043.
