Aromas of cassis, chocolate, charcoal and rosemary. It’s full-bodied with firm, chewy tannins. Rich and intense with a firm structure. Muscular and big. Still reserved with a tannic finish. A blend of mostly cabernet sauvignon and syrah. Try in 2024.

The Cabernet Sauvignon-dominated 2017 Chester Kidder is another more closed, reserved wine that's loaded with potential. Cassis, toasted spices, violets, and leafy herb notes give way to a rich, full-bodied red that has ripe, velvety tannins, a rounded, mouth-filling texture, and one heck of a great finish. Give bottles 3-5 years if you can and it should be very long lived.
