Always intensely interested in government, Johnson served two terms in the West Virginia House of Delegates. He actively corresponded with many of his Delt brothers and joyfully conducted pilgrimages to Bethany College. One of Johnson’s favorite pastimes was conducting tours of Bethany and pointing out the room where Delta Tau Delta was founded.

“The past salutes the present and joins it in hope for the future. Its founders built better than they knew.” – John C. Johnson

In his honor, we introduce to you, John C. Johnson. This proprietary red blend – from 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. With silky but firm tannins, this wine is enjoyable now but has the ability to age well in the cellar.

Tasting Notes

Crafted primarily from Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syrah, and Zinfandel, this 2018 Napa Valley Red Blend is rich and beautifully balanced. Layers of blackberry and ripe cherry are accented by notes of coffee, tobacco, and warm spice. Plush tannins lead to a long, dry finish with lingering berry fruit, making this wine equally enjoyable today or after years of graceful aging.
