Score 94/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Dec 2012
The 2006 Second Flight is a beautiful classy wine. Here the significant presence of Merlot (33%) helps to round out the Cabernet Sauvignon that is so distinctive in Screaming Eagle. Overall, this is a fairly generous expression of the year with plenty of the estate's signatures. Over time, a compelling mélange of savory herbs, spices and minerals comes alive in the glass. This is a super-impressive first vintage for Second Flight.
