Line Shack Petite Sirah (2009) $15: This wine comes from the San Antonio Valley near Monterey, California. The San Antonio Valley is a new American Viticulture Area that has been gaining recognition from around the world.(http://www.lineshackwine.com/).

This wine is hands down, one of the best wines I've had in a while. It has a dark purple color, and a sweet blackberry, plum, and cinnamon bouquet. It is rich in flavor with blackberry, cinnamon, and sweet tobacco notes. It is big in body, has soft tannins, and only a touch of sweetness from the berry flavors.

This wine would pair very well with grilled meats and dark chocolate.
