The 2019 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon from Oakville, Napa Valley, is a wine of exceptional elegance and finesse, distinguished by its beautifully layered profile of black and blue fruits, red berries, and floral notes like violets and rose petals. It offers a refined complexity with hints of black licorice, sagebrush, spice, leather, and subtle blood orange, creating a vivid and detailed palate. The wine is medium to full-bodied with silky, building tannins that provide a graceful texture and excellent balance, reminiscent of classic vintages like 2016 and 2014. Its purity and structure suggest it will develop beautifully over the next several decades. This Cabernet is best enjoyed after 2027 and pairs wonderfully with rich dishes such as roasted lamb or aged hard cheeses.
