Wine Information:
Founders House:
As the Founders House is a steadfast sentinel of our Fraternity’s journey to excellence, this fine Pinot stands as a testament to the art of viticulture.
We introduce you to Founders House. 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.
Founders House 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.
Golden Lyre:
The Lyre symbolizes wisdom and moderation. In Greek mythology, Hermes is credited with its invention and gifted it to Apollo, the god of prophecy and music. For Delts the power represented by the lyre goes beyond the rote and the mundane. The lyre is emblematic of inherent ability, intellectual strength and moral superiority. As the music of the lyre enriched the lives of the ancients, so does the power of the lyre enrich the life of every good Delt.
We introduce you to our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Golden Lyre. This is a premium and classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hints of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
Sweethearts Divine:
A Delta Tau Delta sweetheart is so much more than a pretty face, someone who brings treats by the shelter and a name on the composite. A true Delt sweetheart symbolizes all that is beautiful and good with the Fraternity. A Delt sweetheart holds a special place in the heart and soul of every Delt and is personified in the classic Delt song “Sweethearts Divine.”
Elegant and loyal to all with a hint of sweet, we introduce you to our Sweethearts Divine Chardonnay. From the chalky soil of the Carneros region in southern Napa Valley, this gem exhibits lush green apple and bright grapefruit notes while dancing across your palate. This stunning wine is light and friendly with very subtle vanilla and pear blossom hints on the nose. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Napa Chardonnay.
