Second Flight

Among cult California wines one winery stands alone: Screaming Eagle. Its origins lie in the discerning eye of a star local real estate agent, Jean Philips, who started acquiring choice vineyard plots in the mid-1980s.

Second Flight, Screaming Eagle’s sister wine and the brainchild of Stanley Kroenke, is characterised by its confident delicacy. A particularly aromatic wine, it is credited with scents of red fruit, fragrant spice and crushed florals. With a base of Merlot rather than Cabernet Sauvignon, Second Flight delights the senses with its charming litheness, and has been met with almost the same acclaim that Screaming Eagle first received.

Second Flight offers up floral, blue and black fruit, mocha and white chocolate characteristics. It possesses full-bodied, silky flavors, and a finish that lasts for minutes. It can be enjoyed now, but should evolve effortlessly for 12-15+ years.
