The 2005 Syrahs are slightly more linear and European-styled than the 2004 in terms of weight and elegance.

A knock-out effort from Santa Ynez is the 2005 Syrah Harrison Clark. It is a fresh, elegant, dark ruby/purple-colored offering with plenty of spicy, peppery notes intermixed with blueberries and creme de cassis. With beautiful fruit, medium body, and a...
