Wine Information:

The Four:

Barnard’s class of 1898 included four particularly amazing women who were destined to leave a great legacy on both their college and on a new fraternity. Stella George Stern Perry, Jessie Wallace Hughan, Helen St. Clair Mullan and Elizabeth Heywood Wyman were four firm friends determined that their friendship should last a lifetime. “The Four” is the first in the series of wine offerings that pay homage to each of our founding members and the uniquely individual impact they left on the Fraternity.

We introduce you to The Four. This proprietary red blend – from our award-winning winemaker Todd Heth – 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.

Four Petals:

Four Petals merges the significance of our beloved Jacqueminot Rose with our symbolic relationship with the number four. The petals also call out to our Infinity Rose that is an integral piece of our brand identity. The number four represents our beginnings. From the vision of four Founders - all having the desire to continue their lifelong friendships - to our ideals of character, dignity, scholarship and college loyalty, Four Petals subtly incorporates AOII's past and present.

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.

This Pinot Noir 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.

Infinity Roses:

AOII’s Infinity Rose, created exclusively for Alpha Omicron Pi Fraternity, displays a stylized interpretation of our Jacqueminot rose with its thornless and striking simplicity.  The infinity symbol is subtly intertwined, creating a rose with four petals to symbolize our four remarkably ambitious Founders; the timelessness of the Fraternity’s founding values; our emphasis on the significance of character, dignity, scholarship, and college loyalty; and our never-ending bond of friendship.

We introduce you to Infinity Roses, our 2021 Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon. The watermelon and strawberry notes burst out of the glass. When served cool on a warm day, the juicy acidity of the 2021 Rosé makes for a very refreshing and versatile wine, perfect to share on any occasion. Look for the hidden imagery in the rose petals.

1897 Reserve:

Stella George Stern Perry, Jessie Wallace Hughan, Helen St. Clair Mullan and Elizabeth Heywood Wyman were four friends determined that their friendship should last a lifetime. On January 2, 1897, those four women founded Alpha Omicron Pi, having no idea the lasting impact this organization would have for years to come. After 125 years, AOII members celebrate our Founders for their vision, continue to forge lifelong friendships, and Inspire Ambition in all that they do!

We introduce you to 1897 Reserve. This premium sparkling wine – meticulously and artfully made in the traditional champagne method – rivals anything found from the best Champagne houses in Épernay and Reims. Blended superbly from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this magnificent Napa Valley Brut exhibits rich fruit aromatics of strawberry and delicate white cherry that follows through to a creamy mid-palate accompanied with highlights of lime and wet minerality and a lingering vibrant finish.
