Screaming Eagle is often one of the most seductive wine in Napa Valley, but in 2010 and 2011 the wines are darker and more powerful than normal. In 2011 winemaker Nick Gislason opted for higher percentages of Merlot and Cabernet Franc in Second Flight and Screaming Eagle respectively, in order to complement the Cabernet Sauvignon, which was the most difficult variety to deal with that year. Deleafing and opening of the canopy took place only at the very end of the season, while fermentations were pretty normal. As for the 2010s, they showed as brilliantly from bottle as they did from barrel. Readers who want to glean some insights on the 2013 vintage may want to view this short video with Gislason shot at the the tail end of the harvest.
