The Story
The 2021 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon represents the pinnacle of Napa Valley winemaking. Produced in extremely limited quantities and lauded by collectors worldwide, this wine captures the purity, finesse, and power that define California’s most iconic cult estate.
Expressive aromas of blackcurrant, violet, and graphite open into layers of cassis, dark chocolate, licorice, and subtle tobacco. The palate is concentrated and silky, with beautifully integrated tannins and an extended, mineral-driven finish.
100 Points - James Suckling
The aromatics on this are stunning, offering black cherries, blackcurrants, lead pencil, spearmint, Spanish cedar. and wild roses. It’s medium-bodied and starts slowly on the palate and then takes off with muscular tension. Nicely chewy, toned and firm. Goes on for minutes. Flexing and showing its propensity for longevity. Rock on.

Darker and more powerful than the 2023, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon offers cassis and black currants intermixed with smoked tobacco, rose petal, liquid violets, crushed stone, and a hint of iron. It's one of the most impressive, profound young wines I've ever tasted as well as the most powerful Screaming Eagle I've experienced. Full-bodied and dense on the palate, with serious structure, it maintains the rare sense of purity, class, and balance that's the hallmark of this estate.
