This Syrah is so good, it makes you wonder if the Chalone appellation isn't more Rhône than Burgundy. The vines were incredibly low-yielding, giving only 1.2 tons to the acre, and the flavors are intensely concentrated in cassis, black cherry, blueberry jam and vanilla mocha. Soft and gentle, the wine seems best now for its voluptuous fruit.
