Winemaker's Notes: This 2024 Columella shows the customary Mediterranean spicy herbal aromas, with peppery notes and violet accents. It has a lot of fresh red fruit, mulberry, and graphite aromas, along with some dried figs. On the palate the wine displays chalky firm tannins. We believe it is some of the best and most complex tannins we have managed to capture in Columella. The tannins and mouthfeel have been our absolute focus for the past eight years, and we have spent much time studying the various post-fermentation extraction points and pressing dates.
