Our Founders’ Series continues by honoring William Raper Kennedy. Born in Vincennes, Indiana on November 22, 1877, Kennedy graduated from Vincennes University in 1897. He served in the Spanish-American War and re-enlisted in the infantry a month after being discharged. Except for brief intervals, he was almost continuously in military service, rising from the rank of private to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of Infantry. He married Helen Hens in 1908; they had four children: one daughter and three sons. Kennedy passed to the Adytum on High on December 5, 1944.

We introduce you to Founders Red - William Raper Kennedy. The 2019 Red Wine is an artful red blend created by winemaker Todd Heth. This wine exhibits dark blackberry, bing cherry and plum notes perfectly into layers of coffee and tobacco. The finish is dry with long lasting berry fruit. Silky but firm tannins, this wine is enjoyable now but has the ability to age well in the cellar.
