89 Points.
The 2005 Syrah Les Galets Vineyard does not possess the size or depth of a big Cornas from France's northern Rhone Valley, but it comes across as a finesse-styled St.-Joseph. Herbal, crushed rock, raspberry, and cherry notes are found in this medium-bodied, elegant, character-filled Syrah. It is ideal for drinking over the next 3-4 years.

Sleek and focused, with sour cherry, cranberry and wild berry flavors that are clean and refreshing, ending with a burst of ripe blueberry. Drink now.
