Sadie Family Columella 2023

The Sadie Family Columella 2023 is a serious, collectible wine from a top producer in South Africa. If you acquire a bottle, treat it as an investment in time: it will likely reward patience. If you open it earlier, decant and pair thoughtfully.

98 Points - James Suckling

Black cherries, fresh plums, sandalwood, peach pits, sage and cloves on the nose of this deliciously polished and complex red. It’s medium- to full-bodied, intense yet full of finesse and elegance, with firm and very fine-grained tannins. Long, continuous and delicious, with a beautiful interplay of fruit and spice. I love this wine. Syrah, mourvedre, grenache, carignan, cinsault, tinta barocca and pinotage. Drinkable already but better after a couple of years.
