Long Shadows Vintners
Chester-Kidder Columbia Valley Red Blend
Columbia Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
A wonderful tasting put on by Classic Wine Storage featuring Long Shadows Winery. If you aren’t familiar with these wines, they are phenomenal WA state wines that are made by the likes of Randy Dunn, Phillipe Melka, Michel Rolland, John DuVall, and more.
Approachable red blend. To me, this is the pop and pour wine out of the lineup. Very plush. This reminds me of Flora Springs Trilogy Blend out of Napa with a bit more fruit on the finish. More milk chocolate than dark. Boysenberry, blue and black fruit medley.

On the note, sweet, candies, dark currants, black licorice and dark fresh florals. The body and fruit is sexy...stunning. Rich, ripe; blackberries, black plum, dark cherries, cherries, strawberries. Soft, elegant mineral & earth, crushed rocks, licorice, cola, beautiful round acidity and a stunning, round, elegant, rich long finish that goes on and on. Beautiful wine. Photos of; a fall look of estate and grounds, barrel tasting with Gilles their Director of Winemaking & Viticulture and a painting that hangs in the tasting room.

Beautiful wine with notes of blueberry and blackberry. Hints of leather and oak. Smooth and velvety.
