Sadie Family Columella 2016 Bottle:1 and real spicesA red that's based on Syrah with a bit of Mourvdre, from the Swartland subregion of South Africa. Made in the image of those fantastic Northern Rhne wines we love to drink, this is named after Columella, an astute Roman who wrote about agriculture in the first century. Velvety textured tannins, black spiced berries, licorice, and butter on the palate. Wonderfully balanced, age worthy, and showing great acidity, this young wine demands your attention.
