The Grand Vin 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is reminiscent of the 2016, and possibly the 2014, with its beautiful balance, purity, and straight-up class. Offering remarkable purity in its crème de cassis, wildflower, spice, lead pencil, and tobacco-like aromas and flavors, it’s medium to full-bodied, has flawless balance, and building, silky tannins. It’s a thrillingly complete, classic Screaming Eagle that won’t hit maturity for another 7-8 years and I suspect will have 40 to 50 years of overall longevity. Reviewed by Jeb Dunnuck, March 2022. Drinking window: 2022-2062.

The 2019 Screaming Eagle is a wine of mind-blowing elegance and finesse
that stand apart from the generally more potent style of so many wines in
this vintage. Deep, sensual and beautifully layered, the 2019 is simply
magnificent from the very first taste. A whole range of red/purplish fruit,
spice, leather, dried herb and blood orange accents give the 2019 its vivid,
wonderfully detailed personality. Because of its price, both on release and in
the secondary market, Screaming Eagle is the most talked about wine in
Napa Valley. It is hype or not? All I can say is that I was very fortunate to
drink a number of older vintages during lockdown and all those wines lived
up to their reputations. Reviewed by Antonio Galloni on October 2021. Drinking window: 2029-2049.
