Cab is king. And in a vintage like this, it shows, as our standard bearer is big, dark, structured and showy.  With aromas of blackberry, kirsch and cedar, over a hint of pencil lead. Dense, dark, intense and with sweet fruits on the palate, it is a big wine that will benefit from decanting or giving it time to air as it reveals more layers and depth with each sip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetail Price:\u003c\/strong\u003e $95.00 \/ 750 ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrue North Club Member Price: \u003c\/strong\u003e$76.00 \/ 750 ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Theta Phi Alpha - True North","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50184302068006,"sku":"CG-TNCS21NV","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0876\/5249\/9750\/files\/TrueNorth_FounderSelma_Cab.png?v=1779314827"},{"product_id":"ms-camilla-2021-red-wine-napa-valley","title":"Ms. Camilla - 2021 Red Wine - Napa Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eHostess. Teacher. Mentor. Loyal Sister. Founder Camilla Ryan Sutherland was residing with her sister, May, in the family home not far from the Ann Arbor campus when they welcomed Selma Gilday to move in with them. That gracious welcome soon extended to the promise of Theta Phi Alpha when, in 1910, Bishop Kelly asked them to assist in the organization of the small group who became Omega Upsilon. Omega Upsilon proved unable to continue; Bishop Kelly beseeched the Ryan sisters to carry on in the role of co-founders to aid the stronger, better networked organization that, on November 16, 1912, initiated their first members as Theta Phi Alphas. This spirit of support continued when, in 1931, Camilla and May hosted the first joint meeting of the Grand Council and the newly established Board of Trustees meeting at the Sutherland home. Camilla remained a loyal sister and friend until she entered the eternal chapter in 1938.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe introduce you to Founder Ms. Camilla. Beautiful dark color from a concentrated vintage, this wine leads out with brooding dark fruit aromas of black cherry, blackberries and baking spices with some underlying clay earth and toasty oak. The palate dances with bright fruits that turn darker with time in this full-bodied wine, which is juicy and approachable now, but will also reveal other nuances with age, especially coming from a deep and heralded vintage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRetail Price:\u003c\/strong\u003e $95.00 \/ 750 ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrue North Club Member Price:\u003c\/strong\u003e $76.00 \/ 750 ml\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Theta Phi Alpha - True North","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50852730405158,"sku":"CG-TNRW21NV","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0876\/5249\/9750\/files\/TrueNorth_FounderCamilla_RedWine.png?v=1757452937"},{"product_id":"legacy-rose-reserve-2021-chardonnay-napa-valley","title":"Legacy Rose Reserve - 2021 Chardonnay - Napa Valley","description":"\u003cp\u003eBalancing richness with graceful elegance, the Legacy Rose Reserve Chardonnay offers generous fruit and refined structure.
