The Significant Sig Award recognizes those alumni members whose exemplary achievements in their fields of endeavor have brought great honor and prestige to the name of Sigma Chi.

Each vintage of this beautiful mountain-grown Cabernet will honor lesser-known Significant Sigs that have passed on to the Eternal Chapter. The first is CEO of Phillips Petroleum Company and Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, Significant Sig William Wayne Keeler, KANSAS 1930, was born April 5, 1908, in Dalhart, TX, and grew up in Bartlesville, OK where he died in 1987. Born of Cherokee ancestry, Keeler was appointed principal chief by President Harry S. Truman in 1949. For the next quarter century, Keeler worked to reestablish Cherokee sovereignty and government. In 1971, after his selection as the tribe's first elected chief since 1903, he presided over the drafting of a new Cherokee constitution. Keeler was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 1966 and is considered one of the most influential members of the tribe. The W.W. Keeler Complex in Tahlequah, OK, is the seat of the Cherokee tribal government and was named in his honor.

From the steep, rocky slopes of Napa Valley's famed Mount Veeder, The Significant Cab's tremendous structure and balance are the essence of Mount Veeder, known as the source of some of Napa Valley's most extraordinary mountain-grown wines. This wine exhibits a beguiling balance of complex, sophisticated aromatics and fruit intensity wed to a core of taut yet silky tannins. Notes of cassis, lingonberry, black cherry, and crushed cocoa come to the forefront, with hints of violets, thyme, black tea, and kirsch all layer on a bed of velvety tannin.

This bottle is signed by Jennifer Lynn Keeler (KANSAS - Pi Beta Phi), great-granddaughter of Significant Sig W.W. Keeler.
