Screaming Eagle 'The Flight'

Cult Cabernet • Limited Release

The Collection

Notorious for its exclusive supply and universal intrigue, Screaming Eagle is one of the most coveted names in wine — and 'The Flight' is its second act. Born from the same hidden vineyards on the Oakville valley floor, this Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot blend was introduced to protect the mythical standards of the first label, with only a small share of the estate's 60 acres yielding the two cuvées. 

First released under the name 'Second Flight,' the wine took its current name with the 2015 vintage — a rare chance to taste the Screaming Eagle house style, aged 15 months in French oak and released in only a few hundred cases a year. For most collectors, an allocation is a years-long wait; at Collection 86, it is already in the glass
