Sagee Aran

9.4

Pours a deep, solid color thanks to the heavy Mourvèdre influence, with a perfumed and delicate nose. On the palate, it is firm and full-bodied, showing ripe tannins and concentrated fruit. The texture is smooth, leading to a finish with harmonious spices. For the 2017 tasted in 2026, have a 45 to 60 minutes decant. — 8 days ago

Green apple, peach, mineral and floral notes right after opening. As it warms up has a slightly oily sensation reminiscent of lemon peel. At an even later stage a sweet aroma of fennel seeds. Nice long finish with a slight hint of refreshing bitterness. Hint of smokiness as well. Rounded mouthfeel with good and balanced acidity. — 7 years ago

To me good wine stands out from average wine when I can sense three things from it: time, place and intention.
This rustic garnacha clearly carries these three indices.
The top layer of smell is rustic- farm, soil. Sticking my nose in the glass I'm greeted with a maraschino liquor soaked cherry wood barrel.
The palate tells me it's been maturing and mellowing for three quarters of a decade - this is mature but eagerly waiting to be opened. There aren't layers to this- it's straight forward, direct, open and expressive. Elegant in it's simplicity but certainly not posh. Dry, but very much alive, like the garrigues that was once rooted where this vineyard now stands. This is central Spain. — 4 years ago

The Grenache-based 2015 Vacqueyras Garrigues presents a riot of vibrant, spice and mineral accented red fruit and floral notes, with just a hint of youthful tannins. It will make a great match for grilled or braised meat and mushroom dishes. $25.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, November 2018) — 8 years ago
