Robert Parker (RP) : 98 Points (2020)

From the first sniff, the 2020 Columella is an instant champion that is pointing and swinging for the fence. With its fresh frame of fruit and expertly layered oaky essences, the wine is incredibly complex as it bursts from the glass with precision and finesse. Medium-bodied and with 13.5% alcohol, the Columella somersaults into a phantasmagoria of bright crunchy red fruit flavors and seductive floral essences that makes my head spin. Collectors will take note and add a couple of bottles of this to their cellar. It’s an absolutely stellar bottling that will age gracefully for decades.

James Suckling (JS) : 97 Points (2020)

Complex and deep aromas of blueberries, crushed plums, blackberries, cloves and black pepper. Medium- to full-bodied with juicy, fruit-soaked tannins. Finely texture with wonderful depth and intensity. Succulent and vibrant on the palate with great length and ever evolving savory complexity. Terrific. A bit tense right now but will relax with time. Best after 2025.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 95 Points (2020)

The 2020 Columella is matured for 12 months in regular barriques with 10% new oak and 12 months in foudres. Dark berry fruit, black tea and light tobacco scents, this is finely tuned and focused, just pure class. You cannot ignore the pedigree here. The palate is beautifully balanced with pliant tannins, very sensual and silky smooth in texture, hints of white pepper and thyme developing in the glass. Dry and very focused on the finish. This constitutes one of the finest Columella's that I have tasted. (NM)

Wine Spectator (WS) : 94 Points (2020)

A well-spiced, harmonious red, fragrant and finely knit, with subtle, brambly character to the ripe raspberry and cherry fruit, accents of chopped marjoram, wild sage and fresh, loamy earth. Reveals integrated tannins that are lightly chalky and fine, with a long, juicy finish that echoes the ripe fruit alongside notes of spiced orange peel, iron and smoke. Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache, Cinsault and Tinta Barocca.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 94 Points (2020)

This is a wine with depth and balance from several vineyards in the Swartland. Bright cranberry, raspberry and blackberry meet licorice and tobacco in the smooth fruit-driven midpalate. Excellent acidity and firm tannins shape a good structure. Although it's delicious now, this blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsaut and Tinta Barocca needs more time to show its full potential. (JV)

Wines & Spirits (W&S) : 93 Points (2020)

This wine, a blend of syrah, mourvèdre, grenache, carignan, cinsault and tinta barroca, combines fruit from ten sites, mostly from the Paardeberg and Kasteelberg. After completing fermentation, it ages for a year in French oak (only five percent new), then spends an additional year in foudres. Inky-dark, this wine shows its considerable complexity from start to finish, with thyme-scented blackberry aromas translating into plummy power on the palate. Its drying tannins and deep flavors seem to exist weightlessly over its frame—purity in silky power.

Tim Atkin (TA) : 98 Points (2017)

Syrah-centred with satellites of 40% Mourvèdre, Grenache, Carignan and Cinsault, this is an "attempt to represent the whole Swartland", according to Paul Jordaan. All dry farmed, it's the best Columella I've ever tasted, with a lovely interplay between schist and granite soils, performing like two hands on a piano. Violets, fynbos and dry earth aromas segue into a palate that's focused, layered and subtle with bright, textured tannins and amazing minerality. 2022-35
