Based on 36% Grenache, 33% Mourvèdre, and 31% Syrah, aged 19 months in French oak (42% new), the 2022 Sagacious reveals mulled red fruits, leather, loamy earth, and savory spices. It's rocking on the palate, full-bodied, and concentrated, with a pure, seamless mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a superb finish. This polished, complex, incredibly impressive wine from winemaker Philipp Pfunder will drink beautifully for a decade. Drink 2025-2035.
