Screaming Eagle 2020, 750ml [JS 99]

This vintage defies the narrative of the 2020 Napa growing season, delivering a wine of startling energy and vibrance. The nose opens with high-toned aromatics of dark blue fruit, graphite, and wild lavender, leading into a palate defined by satin textures and a distinct, cooling minerality. It is a testament to the estate's granular selection process—a wine that trades the dense, brooding power of 2018 for a more ethereal, precise, and intellectually stimulating expression of Oakville.

Why this bottle belongs in your cellar This is a historic acquisition for the completist; production was severely restricted due to the fires, making this one of the scarcest releases in the estate's history.
