Chris' & Katie's Notes: Roots refers to both Chris’ Virginia roots and the joint foundation we are establishing here together. A goal of ours from the beginning has been to help elevate Virginia as a premier wine region. Roots primarily showcases Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Tannat, all of which grow and ripen beautifully in Virginia. We absolutely love this blend and feel it demonstrates a uniquely Virginian big, bold, and impactful red.

Impressions: Our 2021 Roots exhibits luxurious richness and impact with concentrated aromas of red and black fruit, followed by an expansive presence on the palate.
