Wine Information:
Big Red:
Raise a glass to “Big Red,” the spirit flag of the South Carolina Corps of Cadets. Emblazoned with a design created over 150 years ago by Charleston flag maker Hugh Vincent, it is believed that the original Big Red was flying over Morris Island when Citadel cadets fired on the supply ship The Star of the West in 1861. Thanks to the generosity of alumni, the historical flag has been proudly displayed in the John Monroe J. Holliday Alumni Center on The Citadel campus since 2010.
We introduce you to Big Red. 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.
White Slip:
Although The Citadel now uses electronic disciplinary records, generations of cadets have vivid memories of the paper “white slip” that was used to report disciplinary infractions large and small. Theoretically, a white slip could have been used to report positive performance, but whether this ever happened is a question best discussed over a perfectly chilled glass of White Slip.
We introduce you to White Slip. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate for 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 tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
