This wasn't a big "california syrah" like I recalled from previous bottles, but had developed nicely into a rich, dark fruit, earthy red. Good complexity, medium-full body, and a long finish.

What a disappointment. Nothing on the nose (blackberry? raspberry? so faint it's hard to say), thin palate, short finish. Either this is done, or never was. Meh.

Dense purple in color followed by blueberry, slight smoke, coffee, oak, and earth tones. Very big wine with black fruit and earth but I think it is showing some age because the wine drops off. I recommend to drink and hope my bottle is a little off. I will contact Bella to discuss.

Solid syrah. Lily Hill always seems to turn out good grapes.
