title: Bella 2005 Lily Hill Estate Syrah (Dry Creek Valley)
description: 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.
variety: Syrah
designation: Lily Hill Estate
