This proprietary blend commemorates the birth of our Brotherhood on February 19, 1852. While students at Jefferson College, our Founders were among a brave few who remained on campus as a typhoid fever epidemic ravaged the community. Through late-night vigils tending to the sick and the mourning, the two developed an unbreakable bond. A year later, as blizzard winds battered the campus, these honorable men gathered to create a brotherhood in the spirit of helping those in need. That fateful wintry night, Phi Kappa Psi was born.

We introduce you to our 1852 Founders Blend. This proprietary red blend – from our 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. 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.
