Astrale e Terra 2004 Estate Syrah (Atlas Peak)
  1. $28
At the age of five-plus, this is still a pretty aggressive wine in tannins, with a sandpapery astringency through the finish. But it’s also incredibly fruity, offering a blast of superripe blackberries, currants, plums, dark chocolate and pepper. Seems best now and for a couple years.  — S.H.  (12/31/2009)

Astrale e Terra 2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Atlas Peak)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $50
Pretty good for a Cabernet, with rich blackberry and cherry flavors and a rich overlay of smoky oak. Loses steam with some overripe raisins and an overly soft texture. Drink now.  — S.H.  (12/31/2010)

Astrale e Terra 2004 Estate Merlot (Atlas Peak)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $32
Although the new oak is only 25%, it sticks out in char and caramelly butter. Maybe that’s because the underlying Merlot isn’t very good. It shows modest suggestions of cherries, blackberries and cocoa that turn tired and soft on the finish.  — S.H.  (12/31/2009)

Astrale e Terra 2004 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon (Atlas Peak)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $50
Showing green tannins and some vegetal tastes at the age of five-plus years. The structure has largely collapsed, leaving behind soft, herb-tinged cherries and blackberries, and astringent tannins. Clumsy.  — S.H.  (12/31/2009)
