Parducci 2015 True Grit Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendocino)

Country: US / California
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
Winery: Parducci / True Grit Reserve

Quite powerful and oaky in style, this full-bodied wine matches ripeness with firm tannins, carrying a hint of brown-sugar sweetness from the aroma through the finish. It’s dry, but the spicy effect of new-oak barrels adds a pastry-like accent, which the texture balances with a welcome bite of astringency.
