Delta Beta Xi - 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon - Napa Valley

In 1864, Alpha Sigma Phi Fraternity at Yale University, unfortunately, met the challenge of imminent suppression. By their adoption of a secret alias, Delta Beta Xi was born, and thus Alpha Sigma Phi was permitted to live. For 12 years, from 1864 until 1876, the traditions of Alpha Sigma Phi were continued on the Yale campus by successive sophomore classes who operated under this mask but who secretly pledged their allegiance to the Fraternity, which Delta Beta Xi was created to perpetuate.

We introduce you to Delta Beta Xi. Cab is king, and this vintage is a testament to its reign. Our flagship wine showcases bold structure, deep color, and striking presence. Aromas of blackberry, kirsch, and cedar emerge over subtle notes of graphite. On the palate, it is dense and concentrated, with rich, sweet fruit and layered complexity. This is a powerful wine that will benefit from decanting or time in the glass, gradually revealing greater depth and nuance with every sip.
