For more than 100 years, Alpha Sigma Alphas have been using ‘Mizpah’ to greet each other as well as to say farewell. As you enjoy a glass of the Mizpah Pinot Noir, make a toast to your sisters- those who are enjoying the wine with you as well as those whom you haven’t seen in a while. 

We introduce you to Mizpah. 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.

Mizpah 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.

The finish is graceful and lingering, revealing subtle oak toast and a touch of dark chocolate.
