![]() This was mainly because the wine became over the years a more Merlot based wine and the name “Second Flight” suggested this was a second wine. Until 2015 Screaming Eagle also produced a wine made from younger vines, called “Second Flight”, however in 2015 they changed the name of this wine into “The Flight”. Unfortunately, the wines are only sold through a mailing list, which has been full since 2000. Furthermore, the wines are pure, very concentrated and incredibly rich, but never out of balance. Screaming Eagle is loaded with blackcurrant and cassis fruit. The total vineyard area barely covers 20 Ha and has been planted in rocky soils on a mostly west-facing slope and has an excellent drainage. ![]() A couple of years later, a small amount of the white Sauvignon Blanc grape was also planted in the vineyard. In 1995 they decided to completely replant the vineyards with three grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Heidi Patterson Barrett became the first wine-maker at the estate. Based in Oakville, in the Napa Valley region of California, Screaming Eagle produces only 500 – 800 cases of regular 750 ml bottles. Since the first release of Screaming Eagle in 1992 (when the wine was awarded 99 points from Robert Parker), this winery has become the benchmark for limited production, high-quality and super expensive wines.
