Winemaker Notes
A beautifully dark and concentrated wine with gorgeous aromatics. The mouthfeel is soft and lush on entry with sweet spice that becomes rich on the wine’s mid-palate. Fresh fig and ripe plum flavors are interwoven with notes of graphite and an alluring earthiness. A structured, solid wine with a silky, textured mouthfeel and a flavorful, vibrant finish.
Blend: 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Syrah, 8% Petit Verdot

Jeb Dunnuck
The 2018 Chester-Kidder Red Wine is based on 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Syrah, and the rest Petit Verdot that spent 30 months in 85% new French oak. It's another brilliant wine from this team and has vibrant plum and darker, almost blue fruits as well as spicy oak, chocolate, graphite, and scorched earth aromas and flavors. Balanced and medium to full-bodied, with a terrific sense of freshness as well as building tannins, it's going to benefit from 2-4 years of bottle age and have two decades of longevity.
Rating: 94+

Aromas of blackcurrants, smoke and toasted herbs. Full-bodied with a lot of earthy, leathery character. Slightly chewy tannins. I like the brooding complexity and intensity here. Very concentrated.

Wine Enthusiast
This wine is 64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Syrah and 8% Petit Verdot coming from Summit View, Candy Mountain and Dionysus Vineyards. Appealing aromas of freshly brewed coffee, dark cherry and barrel spice lead to full bodied flavors, where fruit and barrel intertwine. A long finish caps it off. There's a lot of fruit and loads of tannic stuffing behind it all. It's rewarding now, but more lies within. Best after 2029.
