This strikes a nice balance between fleshiness

earthy and somewhat rustic flavors that pack plenty of punch and admirable concentration

Brooding aromas of crushed black fruits

Sadie Family, Columella other_regions_italy This strikes a nice balanceThe 2017 Columella has an outgoing, intense bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit mixed with sage, tobacco and thyme, that seems a little smudged initially but gains clarity with aeration. The palate is medium bodied with fine grained tannins, plenty of red berry fruit, a generous sprinkling of white pepper and a hint of fennel. Powerful yet refined, and very focused and harmonious on the finish. Gorgeous. Neal Martin
