Description
Extremely rare lot. One original wood case of 8 bottles. 2 bottles each of four vintages of Screaming Eagle Second Flight Cabernet Sauvignon: 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009. This includes the debut vintage for 2nd Flight, 2006
Sourced from a private collection cellared at 55 Fahrenheit by original owner
2006 vintage Rated 94 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“The 2006 Second Flight is a beautiful classy wine. Here the significant presence of Merlot (33%) helps to round out the Cabernet Sauvignon that is so distinctive in Screaming Eagle. Overall, this is a fairly generous expression of the year with plenty of the estate’s signatures. Over time, a compelling melange of savory herbs, spices and minerals comes alive in the glass. This is a super-impressive first vintage for Second Flight.” -Antonio Galloni
2007 vintage Rated 94 VINOUS MEDIA
“The essence of this generous, voluptuous vintage comes through loud and clear in the 2007 Second Flight. A jewel of a wine, the 2007 is endowed with gorgeous depth and tons of personality. Raspberry jam, freshly cut flowers and licorice all flow through to a deep, enveloping finish that is pure 2007. This is another great showing from Screaming Eagle.” -Antonio Galloni
2008 vintage Rated 92 Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
“The 2008 Second Flight emerges from the glass with black cherries, plums, mocha, espresso and chocolate. This is an especially round, rich vintage for Second Flight” -Antonio Galloni
2009 vintage Rated 93 Vinous Media
“A beautiful expression of the year, the 2009 Second Flight emerges from the glass with intense layers of fruit in a style that very much recalls Screaming Eagle. Today, the 2009 comes across as a bit more structured and tannic than previous efforts. Some of that may be the vintage, but I imagine the addition of 9% Cabernet Franc over Merlot to the blend is also a contributing factor. Either way, the 2009 is a striking Second Flight endowed with serious depth, purity and finesse. Sweet red berries, crushed flowers and sweet spices are some of the many nuances that are woven together in this appealing, totally delicious wine.” -Antonio Galloni
