Grapes & tasting notes
La Colombina is a small boutique winery, which only produces 1,200 cases of wine per year. This red combines power and elegance, with bright acidity and dense tannins. Up to 40 months in oak barrels with a short passage in barriques. Aging in bottle 8-10 months before marketing. Cherry and plum fruit are accented by leather, tobacco and mineral as this glides to a lingering conclusion. Shows fine balance, with a tealike finish. Best from 2020 through 2035." Alcohol 14.5%
