Screaming Eagle, The Flight

Napa Valley's Screaming Eagle Winery has long been synonymous with luxury and excellence in winemaking, and its reputation is epitomized by the renowned Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon. However, beyond the opulence of its flagship wine, the winery has created a more accessible masterpiece - Screaming Eagle's other wine, The Flight. This wine offers a more accessible entry point in the $100's compared to $1,000's, for the flagship Screaming Eagle.

The Birth of Screaming Eagle, The Flight

Screaming Eagle's commitment to crafting exceptional wines led to the inception of The Flight, the winery's other wine, not to be confused with a second quality wine. Made from the younger vines within the prestigious Oakville appellation, The Flight represents a nuanced expression of the winery's dedication to quality winemaking. Prior to 2015, the wine was named Second Flight. As the blend of the wine developed into its own distinct blend, "Second Flight" no longer accurately reflected the wine's character. The wine is now named "The Flight".
While maintaining the hallmark elegance of Screaming Eagle, The Flight offers a more accessible entry point for those eager to savor the winery's renowned style without the price exclusivity of its flagship wine.

Vineyard Heritage

The grapes for The Flight are sourced from Screaming Eagle's distinguished vineyards within the Oakville AVA in Napa Valley. Nestled on the eastern side of the AVA, these vineyards boast a prime location, surrounded by other esteemed wineries like Dalla Valle and Oakville Ranch. The vineyard composition mirrors that of its illustrious counterpart, featuring predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, complemented by nuances of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The unpublished and deliberate blend imparts a distinct character to The Flight, ensuring a unique tasting experience.

The Wine - The Flight

The Flight, while a distinct different wine, does not compromise on quality or complexity. Crafted with the same meticulous attention to detail as Screaming Eagle's flagship Cabernet Sauvignon, The Flight exhibits a harmonious blend of flavors and aromas. Expect luscious dark fruit notes, velvety tannins, and a refined structure that reflects the terroir of Oakville. Whether enjoyed in its youth or allowed to age gracefully, The Flight is a testament to the winery's unwavering commitment to excellence.

Soar to New Heights

Screaming Eagle's other Wine, The Flight, is more than a mere complement to its illustrious predecessor – it is a captivating journey into the heart of Napa Valley winemaking. Offering a refined expression of the winery's artistry. The Flight invites wine enthusiasts to soar to new heights and experience the essence of Screaming Eagle in a bottle that is as approachable as it is exquisite.
