Wine Information:
S. A. Jackson:
No Brother is more celebrated or has had a greater impact in Kappa Sigma’s history than Stephen Alonzo Jackson, affectionately known as the Golden-Hearted Virginian. Born on September 22, 1852 in Abingdon, Virginia, “Lon” Jackson as he was known was described “Gentle as a woman, firm as a rock – a perfect bundle of nervous energy. His love of the Fraternity knew no bounds, and his enthusiasm was so contagious that it influenced everybody who came within his reach.” At the Baltimore convention of 1876 he was elected Worthy Grand Master, the first to hold that office. He married Mary Ernest later that year and would go on to father two future Kappa Sigma Brothers: J. Ernest Jackson (Mu Chapter) and Minter Jackson (Lambda Chapter). Stephen Alonzo Jackson died before his 40th birthday on March 4, 1892. At the 1894 Richmond Grand Conclave, March 4th was officially pronounced and is still celebrated within Kappa Sigma as Stephen Alonzo Jackson Day.
We introduce you to S.A. Jackson. This premium Pinot Noir is from the Russian River Valley AVA of Sonoma County. This beautiful wine is influenced mostly by the fog of the AVA and is very aromatic, with a velvet mouthfeel, and has a fruit character that is ripe and intense.
Due Torri:
The “Two Towers”, Torre degli Asinelli and Torre Garisendi, are prominent landmarks of Bologna, Italy, constructed by competing Italian families between 1109 and 1119. Piercing the skyline, Le Due Torri stands out during a Kappa Sigma Brother’s symbolic journey through the city and exist today as they did when the five disciples studied with Manuel Chrysoloras. As pictured, Torre degli Asinelli is taller than its neighbor Torre Garisendi. Both towers lean, though Torre Garisendi’s angle is more prominent.
Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal.
Notes of of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits 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.
46 East Lawn:
Named after Brother McCormick’s room, 46 East Lawn was the central meeting place at the University of Virginia for the Five Friends and Brothers when they founded Kappa Sigma Fraternity on December 10, 1869.
We introduce you to 46 East Lawn. 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.
