The 2019 Chester Kidder from Long Shadows is their Cabernet-dominant blend, this time checking in with 62% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Syrah, with the rest being Petit Verdot. Displaying a brooding dark blue-purple core with a neon purple rim, aromas of black and blue plums, black peppercorns, rich tobacco, violet flowers, and cedary herbs explode from the glass. It’s still a baby, so give this a year or two to come into its own before enjoying. Highly recommended and editor’s choice.
