So, was Scott Harvey involved with this wine, as he was with the Astrale e Terra CS offered a couple of weeks ago?

Scott Harvey was involved. Check out the vintner voicemail.

Yes, finishing and blending, according to the vintners voicemail.
And he likes to drink this as well.
I kinda like older bottles too, wish he was going to be around for questions. Hope he has a good cruise. We'll miss him.

Hey Woot! Just checking in, with Scott cruising and enjoying a well deserved Vacation. We're here to answer any questions that you may have.

Like you, we are in love with Scott's wines(thats why we hired him) and are super excited to share them with the Woot faithful.

Cheers!

Thank you for joining.
Does this blend have low residual sugars, and is this considered more on the dryer side.
Appreciate it. Cheers

The RS on this wine is low, it does have beautiful black fruits and cherries on the front palate. Followed by a dry vanilla toasty finish. Like most of Scott's wines, it impressively balanced.

I'm in for 2. Scott Harvey has the magic touch. Really enjoyed his Syrah I bought here during the woot off and will def chance this one. I found this link which sealed the deal for me. I love a long finish so sounds like my kind of wine. This one will sell out I bet.

We agree, Scott is a master at blending. I popped a bottle of this wine tonight in honor of this deal, wishing we had more.

Sounds fantastic. As you said; impressively balanced....lovely
Thanks and looking forward to enjoying.
Cheers

Thanks for the link...and I agree with you...SOLD OUT

Edit; It pays to stay up late on the East Coast!

I'm overstocked with wine, but this from the link above sounded too tasty to pass up.

Wine Spies Tasting Profile:

Look – Darkest ruby hued, with a deeper and darker (but still clear) core. The color is concentrated and even, right out to the edge of the glass. Legs start high up on the glass and then go ultra-thin before rushing to the surface.

Smell – Warm and massively fragrant, with big blackberry, cherry candy, raspberry, black cherry and ripe strawberry. As the wine opens up, aromas of softly toasted oak, dried fall leaves, milk chocolate and black pepper emerge, really balancing out the fruit-forward nose.

Feel – Soft and supple on entry, then the wine gently coats the entire palate. Plush tannins bring out a crushed velvet feel as the wine slowly dries the palate.

Taste – Dark fruit and earthen flavors combine, delivering bold blackberry, black cherry, dark raspberry, plum and tart dried cranberry. These meld easily with toasty oak, dried leaves, crushed dried flower petals, dusty bramble and soft spice. Black pepper and slate complete the experience – at the tail end.

Finish – Ultra-long, with dark fruit outlasting the red fruit flavors. As the palate dries, flavor remains, taking a long time to tail off. After a long time, bramble, black pepper and slate offer a soft and mouthwatering ending.

Conclusion – Umm, WOW! I went crazy for the 2003, but this 2004 Atlas Peak Syrah from Astrale e Terra is stupendous. This is a beautifully balanced wine. Flavors balance red against black, earth against fruit, spice against mineral; not in opposition, though. Aromatics follow suit. The feel is both soft and supple, with just the right amount of grip and spice. Balanced acidity makes this wine food friendly, which is a surprise for such a flavorful Syrah. I don’t mean to sound overly blustery about this wine, but I can’t help myself. Once again, Astrale E Terra and winemaker, Scott Harvey, blow us away!

I love Scott-made Syrah. Anyone in California like to split? North or South is good, I travel. I also have a $5 voucher I could use, but it if it bounces and you can't reach me, get and I'm good for 2 or 3 bottles!

And if anyone has a spare Arcturus or two lying around... here's a good swap opportunity!

Recently picked up the 1999 Arcturus and the 2006 Cab here. Tried the Arcturus the other night and loved it. Have not had a chance to try the Cab. This looks like an auto but for me - in for one.

I can't seem to get the voicemail to play on my Android browser. Is this the case for anyone else using an Android phone?

Back to the wine.....this sounds delicious! And long-lived, too! A bottle of wine that can last a decade and a half for less than $50 is a steal, but this one takes the cake at $13/bottle!

I will make the same comment I did with the Astrale e Terra Cab. Aged juice from Atlas Peak graced by the hand of Scott Harvey. No brainer indeed.

I am well over-stocked with wine and have no money for this, and trying desperately not to buy more wine, and WD keeps digging up SH wines and SH made wines, knowing all too well that I cannot resist them.

Oh, and did I mention these are only $13/bottle?

Typical Scott Harvey wine...not available to a soul in New England.

I have one coming my way. Opened a bottle of the Cab the other night and it was wonderful. As many say, pretty impossible to pass up a Scott wine!
Cheers!

Yes he was! Scott really wanted to be here to answer all questions but he is on a slow boat to Europe right now.

Went in for one then read this review, http://thewinespies.com/directory/wine/1343, now considering another. It seems like a no brainer.

Last Wooter to Woot:
North316

Over three-fourths of the way to my black box now; and Scott is responsible for a good portion of that.

In for 2. At that price one can't turn it down.

Glad you liked the Cab, but with only 2.5 acres of Syrah on our property, this wine is our baby. Hope you enjoy.

Dang. I can't quit you, wine.woot.

I would be happy to split with you. I'm in Sacramento. Will send private message to you.

I'm with "norvegicus," I try to ignore wine.woot but Scott Harvey, Peter Wellington, Kent Rasmussen and Saxon Brown keep showing up here. And that's just the short list! Curses! I can't resist!

Two days in a row...irrrrrresistable auto-buys. Wine.Woot, yer killin' me. Don't stop!

In for 1, as thus far any wines that we have bought that is affiliated with Scott Harvey have always been amazing!

So, this Scott Harvey character is a pretty big deal, eh?

I wonder how many leather bound books he has....

His house smells of mahogany.

agreed.. i was on the fence with the '99 arcturus, but man i'm so glad i pulled the trigger on that baby.. just fantastic (although not my favorite SH wine here from woot - the 1869 zin was probably the best thing i've ever tasted)..

still deciding what to do with this syrah..

WTFFFFF?? I have bought several cases on here before and now Maryland isnt listed?? Maryland is an approved state???

incorrect. Their house smells of Jana's rather tasty cooking!

That 99 Arcturus was a special find. Scott's big thing is bottle bouquet, that wine has it!

One of our favorite things about having Scott as our winemaker is scoring some of this juice. That 1869 zin is a personal fav for me.

Once this syrah is gone, it's gone. Great balance in this wine. It's a sitting wine, not a standing wine. Loves food!
