The inky/ruby/purple-tinged 2006 Syrah Colson Canyon Vineyard offers up scents of wild herbs, black fruits, roasted meats, leather, and spice. While slightly more tannic and structured than its two predecessors, it reveals outstanding depth, purity, and balance. It will benefit from a year of bottle age, and should keep for 7-8. Joey Tensley continues to demonstrate a fine touch with Rhone varietals from Santa Barbara. Tel. (805) 688-6761; Fax (805) 688-0591
