The 2023 Sagacious is a powerful, structured blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, showcasing the full breadth of the estate in a vintage of exceptional ripeness. 20% whole cluster and 36% new French oak lend aromatic lift, brambly complexity, and subtle spice, while Foudre creates a layered complexity, allowing the dark, brambly fruit to shine through depth and polish.
Dark and brooding on the nose, it offers black fruit, rose hip, leather, and hints of forest floor. The palate is full-bodied and texturally complete, with Grenache providing front-palate concentration, Syrah mid-palate power, and Mourvèdre structural depth. Layers of savory spice, earthy nuance, and dark-red fruit carry through to a long, persistent finish, making Sagacious a wine of intensity, precision, and cellar-worthy longevity.
