Chapter III By Chris Habershaw

After proudly serving 20 years in the United States Marine Corps, Chris embarked on a new journey, driven by his passion for winemaking. He pursued a degree in winemaking from Surry Community College, where he crafted his first Tannat wine, marking the beginning of his winemaking journey-Chapter I. Chris then honed his skills at several local wineries, eventually finding a home at RayLen Vineyards. It was there that he created his Petit Verdot, a wine that represents Chapter II of his evolving story in the world of wine.

Now, Chapter III unfolds at Rayson Winery and Vineyards, where Chris has blended the essence of these first two chapters in a singular, extraordinary wine. This bottle symbolizes the culmination of the years of dedication, passion, and craftsmanship. Cheers to Chris and his Chapter III- a celebration of past experiences and future endeavors in the art of winemaking! Properly stored this wine will age gracefully for a decade or more.
