FOUNDERS’ NOTES
Kindred, first produced in 2008, is the gateway label to our reserve tier portfolio. The label features an image of a nearly 280-year-old oak tree in McMinnville, Tennessee, where Frank Sparkman, Chris’s Dad, was born. The Birthing Tree, where generations of Original Americans and pioneers gave birth, may be the oldest living tree in Tennessee.
"Just released, this brings a ton of power for a $20 wine. It’s tannic, tight, dark, spicy and packed with wild mountain berries - the kind that have thick skins and tart acids, but lingering flavors. A marvelous wine for a burger or pork roast, especially with a berry sauce." 91/100 Paul Gregutt
