Garnet edges with a ruby core. A bit funky on the nose with some cigar wraps, minerality, spices and damp tobacco. Medium tannins (5.5/10) with balanced acidity and medium to medium plus body. Dry palate with dried cherries, leather, stoniness throughout, damp forest floor and a bit metallic at the end. Medium plus to long finish. Will wait a few more years before trying again at least. (90+)

Eben Sadie hits it out the park with the 2011 Columella, a red fruit Syrah that rivals the world’s best. Perfect for drinking today, but will certainly age well.

Densely packed with black fruits. Full bodied & broody. Needs time but has a lot of potential. #southafrica #wine

Lovely nose with dark fruits and touch of licorice. On the palate, blackberries and rich fruits, totally smooth, dry, touch of minerality, very light tannins, lingering finish.
