The 2005 Syrah Santa Barbara possesses a deep ruby/purple hue as well as classic aromas of sweet black currants and cherries intermixed with subtle herb, earth, and spice characteristics. Medium to full-bodied with supple tannin, ripe fruit, good acidity, and a silky, long finish, it should drink well for 6-7 years. Tel. (805) 688-1278; Fax (805) 686-1508
