title: Brosseau 2006 Cuvee Kilene Brosseau Vineyard Syrah (Chalone)
description: Brosseau scored with this bottling last year, and the '06 is as good, showing the same classy elegance. It's drily tannic, but enormously rich in currants, with complexities of smoky leather, tobacco, olive tapenade and tamari-sauteed wild mushrooms. Delicious now, and should develop bottle complexities through 2012.
variety: Syrah
designation: Cuvee Kilene Brosseau Vineyard
