Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Deep garnet colored, the 2011 Second Flight (a blend of 54 Merlot, 42 Cabernet Sauvignon and 4 Cabernet Franc) offers up a gorgeous perfume of wilted roses and violets over a core of blackberry tart, raspberry preserves and kirsch with subtle baking spices and garrigue notions. Medium to full-bodied with a solid frame of grainy tannins and just enough freshness, it has wonderfully perfumed layers and an exotic spice-laced finish. It has a surprising amount of weight and concentration for this cool, rainy vintage. Winemaker Nick Gislason informed me that the last pick was on November 1 this year—which is extremely late! But this later harvest clearly paid off when you consider how ripe the tannins are on this beauty.
James Suckling
Lots of rose petal, rose stem, violets and dark fruit on the nose. Full body with firm, silky tannins and a juicy finish. Hard not to drink now. Gorgeous. 54 merlot, 42 cabernet sauvginon and 4 cabernet franc. This is not a second wine of Screaming but an interpretation of the vineyards with most merlot.. First release 2006.
