Terlato 2008 Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
Beautiful to drink now, one of the most rewardingly plush Syrahs on the market. It’s easy to like, with soft tannins and a creamy mouthfeel housing ripe, savory cherry and blueberry pie flavors. If only more Syrahs were this delicious.

- $48
Fruit-forward, showing ripe, sweet blackberry, cherry, blueberry and cocoa flavors, elaborately uplifted by toasty oak. Made in the modern style, it’s rich and delicious now.

Terlato 2008 Devil's Peak Red (Napa Valley)
- $48
A Bordeaux blend based on Cabernet Franc, this savory wine has rich flavors of baked black cherry pie, with the crust. The firm edge of tannins gives it a dry astringency, and it’s clean and balanced throughout. Doesn’t seem like an ager, though, so drink now–2013.

Terlato 2007 Episode Red (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $175
This is Terlato’s ambitious entry into the cult Cabernet lottery. Based on Cabernet Sauvignon, with Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc, it’s an elaborate wine, deep and long in blackberry, cherry, currant, mocha and sandalwood flavors. The tannins are impressive, yet young, giving a tough, astringent mouthfeel. But ageability is brought into question by some…

Terlato 2006 Pinot Grigio (Russian River Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $26
The fragrances of lemon blossoms and honeysuckle hit your nose as soon as you pop the cork on this seductive white wine. It’s so flavorful, so long in fruit and exotic in spices, and finishes mercifully dry. Twenty percent of barrel fermentation adds the perfect touch of creaminess.

Terlato 2007 Devils' Peak Red (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $48
This is a lush wine, rich in fruit. It offers waves of cherries, blackberries, plums, cola, currants and licorice, and turns very spicy on the finish. Feels good and softly tannic and interesting in the mouth, with a fine bite of acidity. Seems best now and over the next 5–6 years.

Terlato 2008 Angel's Peak Red (Napa Valley)
- $48
Nearly all Merlot, with a drop of Cabernet Franc, this is a soft, sweetly delicious wine. The cherry and raspberry pie flavors are wrapped into gentle tannins, making it drinkable now.

Terlato 2008 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)
- $60
An interesting and challenging wine. Shows some funky, mushroomy notes, along with flavors of cherries, cola, rhubarb and green tomato jam, accompanied by high acidity. It’s Burgundian, in its own way, and could develop in the bottle. Now–2014.
