The 2005 SYRAH has oak up front, but this wine has some fruit, too. It is just hard to find at times. It has moderate depth, with moderate tannins on the finish. The longer I held it open, the more it seemed like Syrah, but there were always considerable hits of oak that were sometimes intrusive, and will need to integrate more into the wine. This may well acquire a little complexity with some cellaring, although it is hardly a long term wine. Drink 2007-2013.Importer: Winebow, Inc., Montvale, N.J.; tel: (201) 445-0620.
