Wine Information:
Wicket Door:
The wicket door is a small, narrow entrance within a larger door or city gate, which serves to avoid the risk of opening the main gates to a castle or city for someone who has not yet been verified as a friend or stranger. We must always remember our duty to protect that which is most sacred to us from life outside the wicket door.
We introduce you to Wicket Door. Our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County experiences a lengthy and cool growing season that is similar to the climate of the Burgundy region of east-central France. Unlike Burgundy, our Pinot Noir experiences dense fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean; this fog contributes to the ideal climate for Pinot Noir, offering just enough moisture to be beneficial without lingering too long.
Wicket Door has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish.
47:
Room 47, West Range was at the outer limit of Mr. Jefferson’s “academical village” at the University of Virginia. Heated by a wood fire, it opened onto an arcade that ran the length of the Range. On the evening on Sunday, March 1, 1868, a small group of young men from different backgrounds met in this room to form a brotherhood that would span generations and the world. It is because of this night that “47” will always mean something special to brothers of Pi Kappa Alpha.
We introduce you to 47. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
The Oak:
Toward the end of his life, founder William Alexander likened Pi Kappa Alpha to the oak and drew the image depicted on this label, with roots grown from the acorn of 1868 and branches covering more than fifteen decades. A fair comparison: the oak holds the earth together against winds, waters, and storms on the southern coast of our country; in the East, it covers acre after acre; in the West, it dominates the landscape. The strength of the oak has come to represent the hearts of true men.
We introduce you to The Oak. The second release of “The Oak” Chardonnay is a real gem. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate for the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, this beautiful medium-bodied wine was grown slowly to build intense flavors over time. This wine was aged in French oak and displays a beautiful balance of fruit, oak and liveliness on the palate and exhibits lush mango and toasted almond. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
