Did you know October is Virginia Wine Month? Not only do I love Virginia wines, but I love the history of the region. The label of this 2016 @kingfamilyvineyards Mountain Plains Monticello Red Wine depicts a slice of this history. The name “Mountain Plains” was first written in a deed drafted in 1773, by Thomas Jefferson to transfer the ownership of a land grant farm established in 1737. Rose land Farm, the home of King Family Vineyards, now sits on part of that original land grant. King Family seeks to honor the heritage with an expression of their terroir and their history by bottling a small snapshot in the centuries long story of a piece of Virginia they call home. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 This wine is crafted of 36% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Franc, & 29% Petit Verdot. It’s a full-bodied wine with notes of dark red and black fruit, baking spice, dusty earth, crushed roses, and dried tobacco. It is rich and round, but also fresh and lively, with great aging potential. This wine is a 2019 Virginia Governors Cup Winner and a beauty. 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 #vawinemonth #merlotme #winewednesday #youcansipwithus #vawine #winelife #winetasting #winewriter #womenwhowine #kingfamilyvineyards #redwine #historyofwine #winelover #winenight #winewinewine @vawine
