لونغ شادوز 'تشيستر كيدر' مزيج أحمر 2020، وادي كولومبيا

The lavender and baking spice notes on the nose are stunning, and the blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah gives it a beautifully smooth finish. This was perfect with a hearty pasta dish.

The dark, inky color in the glass had me expecting a heavy jam bomb, but the 57% Cabernet backbone keeps it surprisingly structured while the Syrah adds a smooth, plush finish. The layered lavender and baking spice aromas unfold nicely over an evening, making it a solid choice for a slow dinner.

The lavender note in the aromatics really comes through on the nose, and that Syrah adds a smoky depth that makes the Cabernet seem almost velvety. Opened a bottle for a quiet dinner and it held up beautifully from first pour to last glass.
