Winemaker Nic Gislason describes 2015 as a year with a very compressed harvest, especially compared to the far more relaxed and drawn out 2016. Speaking of the 2016s, the blends were not made when I stopped by the estate recently, but I tasted several component wines from barrel, all of which suggest the estate has plenty of first-rate materials to work with when it comes time to putting together the blends. Readers will notice a name change in The Flight, (previously known as Second Flight), a decision that was taken to allow The Flight to be seen as its own wine, rather than as a second wine of Screaming Eagle.
