  November 26, 2010 - A wonderful syrah. Excellent flavor nose to lingering finish. Well balanced. Loaded with fruit. Integrated tannins. Probably peaking right now.

  December 24, 2008 - This is an excellent wine as are all the wines we have tried from Bella. Dark ruby color and good out of bottle.

  March 3, 2008 - The Sonoma syrah has hopes for the future. A deep inky red color that implies the fruit however the syrah smokiness comes first with the alcohol needing some time to evaporate away. The smoke contains, black pepper, and a bit of moist earth (a dusty drawer)...and a bit of black olive. On the palate the dark fruits (a bit of blakcberry and cherry) mingle with a hint of licorice. The finish is not long at the moment more ...medium falling a little flat. Hopefully as this one ages the fruit will come out a bit and the other flavors thicken together into a nice stew for a few years down the road. Day 2: Ah what a difference a day makes in this wine at this young age . The fruit came a bit forward and the sharpness receeded a bit. The same flavors there but with better balance - A delightful wine (+2pts)
