Columella 2017 Sadie Family

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (93)

The 2017 Columella begins with a dusty essence and dark-fruited core, that is dusty yet still has a softness to the nose. The palate is expressive with an austere peppery edge that is tightly wound with dusty tannins and a sandy powdering of blackberry, dark cherry and black plum skin. Ethereally structured, the wine has power and precision that is highly complex and will age for decades to come. The finish is shy, yet still having the depth and breadth of a fine wine, that lingers with a firm dusty minerality and tannic grip. Wow! What focus!

James Suckling (92)

This combines power and grace, with a smooth texture and plush tannins behind the notes of damson plum, mulberry, bay leaf and pepper. Bright acidity gives this precision and a lifted character midpalate.
