{"product_id":"long-shadows-chester-kidder-2006","title":"Long Shadows Chester Kidder 2006","description":"\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tLong Shadows Chester Kidder was named by Allen Shoup in honor of his grandfather, Charles Chester, and his grandmother, Maggie Kidder. He has a purpose in mind; a vision really, and that is to make a wine that says, \"this is how good Washington wine can be.\" Allen selected Gilles Nicault, former winemaker for Woodward Canyon, to bring the vision to fruition.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tAromas of dried figs and cocoa powder, along with hints of tamarind and toasty oak are followed by intense violet and blueberry jam flavors beautifully integrated around a spicy core.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe 2006 Chester-Kidder Red Wine is produced by Gilles Nicault, resident winemaker who also oversees the daily upbringing of all the Long Shadows wines. The latest Chester-Kidder is composed of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 36% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot, and 9% Cabernet Franc sourced from multiple AVAs. Medium purple-colored, it sports an inviting perfume of sandalwood, smoke, spice box, lavender, blueberry, and blackberry. The Syrah component gives it a forward personality but there is enough structure for several years of further development. Layered, savory, and concentrated, this lengthy effort will offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2027.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003e- Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, 93 Points \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tExcellent bright ruby-red. Deep aromas of blackcurrant, licorice, spices and leather. Suave on entry, then primary, deep and sweet, with a penetrating quality to the rich dark berry, spice and mint flavors. This one has a tightly coiled spring and underlying minerality that suggest it will be long-lived. Finishes clenched in a positive way, with a rising finish and broad, integrated tannins.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003e- Steven Tanzer, Internation Wine Cellar, 93 Points\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tIt has a feminine grace and softness in the aromas, a lovely mix of flowers and spice. The Syrah brightens up the fruit, accenting berry flavors with a hint of pepper, while the Petit Verdot adds clover and violet aromas and destiny to the tannins.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003e- Cellar Selection\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t- Wine Enthusiast \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Long Shadows Vintners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948720353327,"sku":"W0EE864018CSM","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/long-shadows-chester-kidder-2006","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
