title: Ancient Peaks 2011 Petite Sirah (Paso Robles)
description: This wine delivers aromas of molten-lava chocolate cake with black cherry syrup and a mint leaf on top. The palate shows bacon fat, blackberry extract, dark chocolate and freshly ground espresso, with a peppery roast-beef crust on the finish. It's a touch hot, but the wondrous flavors are worth it.
