Wine Information:

Regardant:

The 18th Convention in 1895 directed the Knight Commander to create a Coat of Arms into a proper “achievement.” While the badge had always been the proper escutcheon, it was desired to add the appropriate components of heraldry, such as a scroll, motto, helmet, crest, coronet, foliage or wreath, and supporters. In 1897, Samuel Zenas Ammen refined a prior design by Charles Kirby King. Lions are common supporters in heraldry and may have different meanings according to their posture. Commonly they are either in a rampant pose, meaning magnanimous or have nobility of mind, or regardant, with a sense of being circumspect, cautious and watchful.

Regardant Cabernet Sauvignon is one of two in a pair of Excelsior Napa varietals highlighting our “supporters.” With soft and silky notes of earth, spice, and lavender, it is a more elegant style varietal, perfect for the regardant sense within us.

We introduce you to our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Regardant. 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.

Old Gold:

In 1885, the Thirteenth Convention held in Nashville, Tennessee approved Crimson and Old Gold as the Order’s official colors. They represent the blood (Crimson) and treasure (Old Gold) spent by our forefathers in defense of our country. Our brotherhood is our treasure, and we know it is stronger than ever.

We introduce to you, Old Gold. 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.
