The wine displays a deep ruby hue. Aromas of delicate strawberry and dark cherry evolve quickly. Floral, perfumed notes of violets follow. You notice hints of black olive and sandalwood spice. The palate is compact and intense, showcasing elegance and finesse. Firm, fine-grained tannins offer a velvet-like texture. A gorgeous interplay of sweet fruit and savory earthiness defines the finish. This vintage shows a firmer, grippier profile, much like the acclaimed 2019.
Sadie Columella 2023 is a blend of its vineyards, not simply its grapes. The blend composition has evolved to include more Iberian and Southern Rhône varieties. This gives the wine incredible depth and a notable freshness. The wine aged for two years total before bottling. This slow maturation ensures seamless integration of all components. This highly collectible wine offers immense pleasure now or over the next two decades.
