2009 Screaming Eagle Second Flight Napa Valley Red Bordeaux Blend

WOTN contender. Nose exploded out of the glass. 10 years seems to be the ideal window for the Screaming Eagle 2nd label. Merlot profile was dominant; great pairing for all the foods served

Over the last few years, I have been drinking a lot of wines and not writing reviews. Because, well, it takes time. I have had some excellent wines from Quilceda Creek, Robert Craig, Kongsgaard, Saxum and other international wines that I do not want to look up in order to spell correctly. But, I must take a moment to write a note about this wine because I get to use the word sublime. The first few swallows were not optimal. A little funky... good, but not incredible. I thought, hmmm why am I saving these? Well, after about 15 minutes... the answer became clear. The bottle warmed slightly, from cellar temperature, a little breathing took place and this became the best wine I have had in a couple of years. A reminder of wonder for this jaded wine drinker. Thank you Elaine and Manfred Krankl.
