Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 is one of Napa Valley’s most coveted wines, and a remarkable expression of why this legendary estate is held in such high regard. Crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon in an exceptional vintage, it combines power, precision, and elegance in a way that only the very finest wines can.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows an inky, nearly black core. The nose is wonderfully layered, with ripe blackcurrant, blackberry, and dark cherry framed by violet, cedar, graphite, moka, dark chocolate, and subtle spice. The palate is silky and beautifully composed, with polished tannins and a weightless texture that carries the wine’s deep fruit and integrated oak. Freshness and mineral tension bring balance and length, leading to a remarkably persistent finish. While already compelling, it has the structure and balance to evolve gracefully for decades.

Production
Sourced from Oakville in Napa Valley, the wine reflects a terroir known for producing Cabernet Sauvignon with richness, finesse, and distinctive mineral depth. The 2016 growing season was long and stable, allowing for slow, even ripening and optimal flavor development. Careful harvesting and meticulous vinification were used to preserve purity, structure, and the estate’s signature precision.

Food & Serving
Best served with premium cuts such as dry-aged ribeye, beef tenderloin, lamb rack, or game dishes with rich sauces. It also pairs beautifully with aged hard cheeses and truffle-based dishes. Serve at 16–18°C and consider decanting for 1–2 hours if opening young, though very old bottles may benefit from gentler handling.

Producer
Screaming Eagle is one of Napa Valley’s most iconic cult producers, known worldwide for extremely limited production and exceptional quality. Since its rise in the 1990s, the estate has become a benchmark for luxury Cabernet Sauvignon and a symbol of California winemaking at its highest level. Its wines are consistently among the most sought-after and celebrated in the region.
