  Here's a sophisticated Syrah, elegant enough to drink with fine meat and poultry dishes. It's completely dry and rich in tannins, with complex blackberry, leather, pepper and sandalwood flavors. If it had more concentration it would be an ager. Drink now–2013.

  A little too dry and tannic, with earthy flavors of tobacco, sage, pepper and dried leather, which only partially relieve the modest blackberries and black currants. Way too astringent all the way through.

  Bella has a spotty record with this wine. The '05, from a cooler vintage, shows a Northern Rhône dryness and peppery taste, with good blackberry and currant flavors. But the tannins are very hard, almost old-fashioned in the way they shut the palate down.
