The Crozes-Hermitage-like 2005 Syrah Colson Canyon reveals notes of tobacco, roasted herbs, new saddle leather, cherries, black currants, and toasty new oak. Even a hint of graphite emerges from this complex, deep, well-made, French-styled wine. Drink it over the next 3-5 years. Tel. (702) 279-4034; Fax (805) 715-1510
