Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 1.5 Liter Magnum

Vinous: 96 Points

The 2017 Screaming Eagle is a deeply intriguing, fascinating wine, as it represents just a small portion of the harvest in that only pre-fire lots were used here (and in The Flight). As a result, the 2017 is unusually bright and tightly wound, with a decidedly savory, mineral-infused, old school-leaning personality. I won’t be surprised if the 2017 turns out to be even better than this note suggests, although I also don’t expect I will taste it too often given that the entire production was bottled in magnum.-AG
