More from this producer: Domaine Richeaume
Columelle red is Richeaume's classic Provence-style Cab-Syrah blend, and it shows. Weightier, more velvet, more grippy tannins than his Carignan. Truly velvety tannins, extracted. Blackcurrants, cassis, violets. Cabernet very evident, leading slightly jammy black fruit on the finish.
