As you might know, Screaming Eagle didn't make a 2022 vintage of The Flight so the winery worked with us to offer us some of their library vintages. This 2016 is one of our favorite vintages in the last decade and is just beginning to show its potential.

“Composed roughly of two-thirds Merlot with 5% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon, the medium to deep colored 2016 The Flight opens with bold, expressive notions of wild blueberries, warm plums and boysenberries with touches of black raspberries, spice cake, violets, dark chocolate and potpourri with a hint of menthol. Full-bodied, rich, spicy and jam-packed with energy, it has beautifully plush tannins texturing the multilayered blue and black fruits, delivering a very long, perfumed finish.” –Wine Advocate
