Tasting note
Parducci's 2014 True Grit Reserve should offer Petite Sirah aromas of blackberry, plum and cracked pepper, with a savory edge. Mendocino County fruit is expected to feel full and firm, softened tannin giving it shape while acidity offsets the dark fruit. Its peak estimate of 2018 to 2022 has passed, though the wider window reaches 2027. The finish should linger with dried berry, spice and a modest earthy note.
