The 2006 Chaleur Estate definitely embodies the vintage, yet remains classic Chaleur Estate.  From its black-purple robe and the nose of blackberries, blueberries, violets, and Asian spice, you know you are about ready to enjoy Chaleur Estate.  The palate is concentrated and fresh, dense with black fruits, vanilla cream, and cardamon spice notes, with a lingering and balanced finish.
