Two young idealistic cadets at Norwich University in Vermont on April 10, 1856 established a brotherhood whose Resolute Men met every challenge and believed in the ideals and usefulness of the Fraternity. Theta Chi is a tribute to the standards and ideals of those cadets and the nearly 200,000 men who have followed them since. Those ideals and standards are as attractive and as meaningful today as they were in 1856.
 
In honor of Theta Chi’s founding year, we offer Norwich — 1856, an artful red blend created by winemaker Todd Heth. This wine 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.

Tasting Notes

Crafted in the traditional Bordeaux style, this red blend is anchored by Cabernet Sauvignon and complemented by select red varietals. Rich aromas of black cherry, ripe blackberry, and dark plum unfold with refined layers of espresso, cedar, tobacco, and subtle baking spice. The palate is beautifully structured, revealing depth, polished tannins, and balance. A long, graceful finish lingers with notes of dark berry fruit and savory complexity, promising both enjoyment and the potential to evolve beautifully with age.
