The Parducci True Grit 2020 is a blend of Syrah, Grenache, Mourvdre, Counoise, and Carignan, aged for eight months in French oak. On the nose, aromas of red cherry, blackberry, plum, baking spices, and toasted almond jump out. On the palate, dark red fruit, cassis, leather, and pepper flavors give way to a lively acidity and supple tannins that lead into a discreetly earthy finish. This vintage of True Grit is powerful, yet balanced, and makes an excellent pairing with grilled meats, pizza, or even a juicy steak.
