Long Shadows Vintners | Chester Kidder Red - NV

Vanilla, baking spice, cocoa and dark fruit aromas are followed by plump, ripe fruit and barrel flavors. Dry tannins back it up. The oak influence seems overweighted to the fruit that's in the glass, and the fruit a bit desiccated.

Producer Information

Long Shadows Vintners is a Washington producer with a portfolio of locally-sourced wines produced by different international winemakers. Long Shadows was founded in 2003 by Allen Shoup and today, produces the popular regional varieties of Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay and Syrah. Fruit is sourced from vineyards throughout the Columbia Valley AVA. The Benches vineyard in the Horse Heaven Hills subregion is the only one owned by Long Shadows Vintners, through several of its investors as a long term source of fruit. The estate also leases vineyards located in the Yakima Valley, Wahluke Slope and Red Mountain viticultural areas. The different winemakers make seven labels under the Long Shadow title. The winemakers include Randy Dunn who has his own Napa Valley winery called Dunn Vineyards; John Duval who previously made wine for Penfolds; and the prominent consultant Michel Rolland, who makes the Pedestal Merlot. During the first few vintages the winemakers would all travel to the winery for harvest, but as Long Shadow has become established, several instruct the making of their wines from afar. Gilles Nicault runs the winery day-to-day and acts as the resident winemaker.
