Mix together the seasonings: sage, salt, pepper and garlic, and rub over the tenderloin.
Place 1/2 cup water in slow cooker, followed by the tenderloin, and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
1 hour before the roast is finished, mix together the ingredients for the glaze in a small saucepan: brown sugar, cornstarch, balsamic vinegar, water, and soy sauce.
Heat over medium and stir until mixture thickens, about 4 minutes.
Brush roast with glaze 2 or 3 times during the last hour of cooking.
For a more caramelized crust, you might want to remove from slow cooker and place on aluminum lined sheet pan, glaze, and set under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, until bubbly and caramelized.
Repeat 2 to 3 more times until desired crust is achieved.
Serve with remaining glaze on the side.
