While we choose our wines to excite and delight you, we sometimes sleuth out a wine that rises above. And today’s rises way above.

Over the last six and a half years, we’ve closely followed Astrale e Terra winery and its fabled winemaker, Scott Harvey. Both have delighted us with superb hit wine after hit wine. Today’s perfectly aged Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon is soft, elegant and perfectly pleasing to the senses. All of the senses.

On the palate, this wine is soft and slightly plush with a crushed velvet grippiness that gradually encroaches at the edges. On the nose, the wine is a tad shy on opening. As it breathes, it awakens to reveal lovely aromatic fruit, leather, tobacco and soft spice.

This very highly recommended wine is drinking beautifully and it will continue to impress for a few more years to come.
