Wine Information:

Constantine:

Whether you spot a crescent on a tile, necklace, or shining in the sky, odds are you think of Gamma Phi Beta and the countless friendships and memories created. The crescent moon is one of the most frequently recognized symbols of Gamma Phi Beta, and it means so much to each member who knows its true meaning. No matter where you are in the world when you look up in the night sky and see a waxing crescent - the first moon - you’ll always think of our sisterhood. Our 1874 Reserve brut sparkling was created to celebrate the best of times with our sisters.

This premium sparkling wine - meticulously and artfully made in the traditional champagne method - rivals anything found in the best Champagne houses in Épernay and Reims. Blended superbly from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this magnificent Napa Valley Brut exhibits rich fruit aromatics of strawberry and delicate white cherry that follow through to a creamy mid-palate accompanied with highlights of lime and wet minerality and a lingering vibrant finish.

Norman Shield:

From the beginning of Roman history, soldiers used two basic types of shields: the great scutum, in either its oval or rectangular form and the round bronze clypeus. It was not until the 12th century that Europe saw a new type of kite-shaped shield that became known as the Norman style.

Since arms were originally painted on shields, it is now a basic part of any coat of arms. Our Norman Shield represents friendship, justice, and learning. While friends can have a profound impact on our experiences in life, this wine aspires to develop brotherhood - a deeper and more enduring type of friendship found only in the bond of the battlefield and a full goblet of wine post-victory.

Our 2020 Norman Shield 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.

Jordan Standard:

The Jordan Standard represents the minimum requirements for all rushes, pledges, and brothers to live by.

The Standard with which the fraternity started was declared by Isaac M Jordan to be that of admitting no man to membership in Sigma Chi who is not believed to be:

A Man of Good Character …
A Student of Fair Ability …
With Ambitious Purposes …
A Congenial Disposition …
Possessed of Good Morals …
Having a High Sense of Honor and
A Deep Sense of Personal Responsibility

Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes 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.

The Sweetheart:

The second release of "The Sweetheart" Chardonnay is a real gem. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate of the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, this beautiful medium-bodied wine was grown slowly to build intense flavors over time. This wine was aged in French oak and displays a beautiful balance of fruit, oak, and liveliness on the palate and exhibits lush mango and toasted almond. Balanced fruit with tart acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.

The Sweetheart is the symbol of the spiritual ingredient in the brotherhood, and we hope this wine will be shared amongst friends and family in the same sentiment. This label showcases the iconic images of the sheet music of the Sigma Chi Sweetheart Song with the hat and flower.

This bottle is signed by Jacqueline DuPont Carlson, International Sweetheart 1989-1991 (SAN DIEGO - Alpha Delta Pi).
