Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon Enjoy two bottles of 2009 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley.

Compliments of Heritage Auctions
Once again, the 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon pays homage to the 2007, but the aromas and flavors seem to be just a touch brighter, which might just be a function of the wine’s age. A wine of remarkable precision, the 2009 is totally dialed in from start to finish. Layers of intensely sweet, perfumed fruit are woven together with remarkable elegance and sheer polish. A translucent, weightless finish rounds things out in style. The 2009 is 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Merlot. Anticipated maturity: 2019–2029.
