37% Grenache, 36% Mourvèdre, 27% Syrah
Sagacious, as complex as the dirt it’s grown in, channels southern Rhone vibes and a romantic Old World-like structure. More than ten blocks of varying Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre clones are used to capture the vineyard’s individuality. Mourvèdre is the obvious key player, conveying notes of savory charcuterie and dried herbs. The Grenache’s pop of bright acidity and the Syrah’s pepper notes create an incredibly round structure. With only 28% new French oak in barrel, foudre and puncheon, Sagacious is significantly advanced in its fruit profile. 94pts - Vinous, Josh Raynolds
