Courageous is the first of ten releases in the The Original Ten series. These wines honor our ten Founders and the qualities they brought to Alpha Phi. It takes a courageous person to fearlessly pursue her dreams and courage was in Rena’s nature.

As one of The Original Ten, she served as Alpha Phi’s first chapter president, a college professor, an author, a journalist and the president of the Cook County Woman’s Suffrage Society of Illinois. She raised her voice so that the voices of all women would, one day, be heard and make a difference.

We introduce you to Courageous Rena. 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.
