2022 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon | Oakville Napa Valley California 750ml

With David Abreu remaining at the helm of vineyard management, Nick Gislason [formerly of Harlan Estate] as winemaker, and Michel Rolland consulting, Screaming Eagle remains one of the most sought-after Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon wines worldwide. Individual bottle authentication is available upon request at Falling Bright.

Floral and silky in the glass with lovely forward fruit the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is a decidedly delicate elegant wine. It offers terrific freshness and verve. Floral and citrus overtones lift a core of red-toned fruit. The low-ish tannins of the vintage are evident in the wine's mid-weight structure. In the 2022 it's the wine's freshness I admire most. I imagine the 2022 is a rare Screaming Eagle that will drink well with minimal cellaring. | 95, Antonio Galloni for Vinous
