The Virginia Military Institute holds deep meaning for the Fraternity. The Founders and their immediate successors all shared life touchpoints from VMI and Lexington. Not far from Lexington is Otis Allen Glazebrook’s boyhood home at 114 East Clay Street in Richmond. Marhall and Ross joined Glazebrook there on September 11, 1865 to sign the founding charter of the Fraternity.

We introduce you to Lexington. 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.

Lexington 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.
