Wine Information:

Granite Hills:

To permanently mark Theta Chi’s birthplace in the granite hills of Vermont, a monument was unveiled and dedicated during the 75th Anniversary Convention in 1931.

Made of granite taken from the surrounding hills, it bears the following inscription: “On a site two hundred feet northeast of this monument in the Old South Barracks of Norwich University, Frederick Norton Freeman, ’57, and Arthur Chase, ’56, founded Theta Chi Fraternity at 9 P.M., April 10, 1856.”

We hope Granite Hills, our 2020 Pinot Noir, remains just as timeless and commemorates your special occasions, a meal with loved ones, or a time to relax and reflect.

Our Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara County experiences a lengthy and cool growing season that is similar to the climate of the Burgundy region of east-central France. Unlike Burgundy, our Pinot Noir experiences dense fog that rolls in off the Pacific Ocean; this fog contributes to the ideal climate for Pinot Noir, offering just enough moisture to be beneficial without lingering too long.

Granite Hills has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish.
