Screaming Eagle 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of California's most iconic and elusive cult wines, produced in minuscule quantities from a coveted estate in Oakville, Napa Valley. This offering is a 3-pack of 750ml bottles presented in an Original Wooden Case (OWC). The 2022 vintage from Napa Valley benefited from a warm, dry growing season that yielded wines of deep concentration, refined tannins, and exceptional balance.

The wine is composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon with small additions of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, aged for close to two years in 100% new French oak barrels. On the nose, the 2022 offers aromas of blackberry, violet, and graphite layered with hints of black olive tapenade, dark cocoa, and fresh herbs. The palate delivers cassis, blue fruit, and crushed rock framed by ultra-fine tannins and a remarkably long finish. Floral and citrus overtones lift a core of red-toned fruit, resulting in a decidedly elegant, fresh expression of the estate.

Rated 95 points by Vinous critic Antonio Galloni (December 2024), the 2022 is described as a rare Screaming Eagle that will drink well with relatively minimal cellaring, with a projected drinking window of 2027 through 2042. Screaming Eagle has a track record of perfect and near-perfect scores across vintages, and the 2022 continues that lineage of remarkable quality and collectibility.
