The 2005 Relentless (78% Syrah and 22% Petit Syrah) offers the vintage’s higher acids and firmer tannins, but gorgeous concentration, and like so many of the 2005s, it has put on considerable weight over the last 12 months. Deep, full-bodied, backward, this wine will require 3-4 years of bottle age and should drink nicely for at least two decades. The classic cassis, blackberry, peppery meatiness of this wine is beautiful, but it is full-bodied despite the freshness and vibrancy that characterized the vintage.
