Screaming EagleCabernet Sauvignon 2011- Library Offering

One of the standout vintages of Screaming Eagle at a recent tasting in Fall 2025, this wine is showing beautifully with decanting. Shaped by a cool growing season, the 2011 retains vibrant acidity that has preserved its freshness, revealing sleek dark red fruit layered with subtle spice-box notes. Drinking beautifully now and expected to continue for the next 5–6 years.

Screaming Eagle’s 57-acre vineyard in eastern Oakville has 40-acres planted to Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and a few rows of Sauvignon Blanc with Nick Gislason overseeing winemaking, Michel Rolland consulting and David Abreu farming this grand cru estate. We’ve been able to enjoy many of their vintages and the one resounding parallel to all the wines is that they need bottle age. The wines upon release are very good but with 15-20 years in bottle, they gain more complexity than any Napa Cabernet I’ve tasted before.
