Ancient Peaks, Paso Robles (California) 2011

Dec 19, 2013

By Rich Cook

Black raspberry jam, fall spices, tar, pepper and moderate toasted oak are in the mix in this full bodied blend.  It opens nicely with some air time, adding a bit of sarsaparilla in the long finish.  Hearty slow cooked stews are a good match.  Contains 62% Syrah, 28% Petit Verdot and 10% Malbec.
