96 pts Wine Advocate March 2025 The 2021 Sauzal Vineyard, composed of 55% Garnacha, 29% Cariñena and 6% Monastrell, is another high point in the Garage Wine Co. roster. A lifted, symphonic bouquet of red and black fruits, citrus rinds and fresh flowers segues to a similarly spry, beamingly bright palate with an enthralling, ethereal quality. It culminates in a soaring, ultra-refined finish that combines succulence, nuance, power and delicacy with impeccable precision—a captivating combination of transparency, effortlessness and weightless tenacity. 2025-203595 pts Vinous July 2024 The 2021 Garnacha-Cariñena-Monastrell – Lot 125 presents a reductive character, with ripe sour cherry, liqueur-like notes and hints of cotton candy set against a balsamic oaky backdrop. Rich and firm, the palate is silky and refreshing, lingering delicately with energy. The coastal range in the Maule area boasts a forested landscape and a monsoonal climate: rainy winters followed by dry summers. In colder years, the Sauzal commune, with its clayish and granite soils, can achieve exceptional balance—the 2021 is a great example. 2024-2036
