Wine Information:
Double Honor:
In finding the people who inspire, challenge, encourage and love you, there is a spark that ignites you to inspire, challenge, encourage and love them right back. That is the double honor of Alpha Phi. All those who have the honor of joining Alpha Phi understand that Alpha Phi is also honored to welcome them into the sisterhood. Our loyal circle is full of determination and generosity because of the members linked together for a lifetime. We hope the moment you became an Alpha Phi lives on in your heart forever. The moment you joined certainly remains alive in ours.
Honor and celebrate our sisterhood.
We introduce you to Double Honor. 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.
Double Honor 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.
Pledge Me A Toast:
Decorated with a wreath of ivy, a sign of strength under pressure, which makes everlasting the ties that connect Alpha Phis, the Loving Cup is a pledge of our warm welcome to the newest members of our sisterhood. When Alpha Phi was formed as a secret society to gather women in a spirit of solidarity, support and love, our Founders reaffirmed the respect we owe to one another and to all women who lead with character, give generously, support each other as sisters and boldly create new opportunities. When members partake in the Loving Cup ceremony, we bring to life the lyrics of “Pledge Me a Toast.” Pledge me a toast before we part, forget the parting’s pain. One that shall bind us heart to heart until we meet again. A toast that time can never dim, nor absence make less dear. One that shall sweeter, deeper grow…with every changing year….
We introduce you to Pledge Me A Toast. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
Forget Me Not:
Fidelity, love and respect – these are what the beautiful Forget Me Not flower represents. Selected as one of our Alpha Phi symbols by our early members, these hardy blossoms are striking beauties that survive the cold and the heat, returning year after year to remind us of our never-ending connection to our sisters. Included in our celebrations of initiation, weddings and everything in between, forget me nots prompt Alpha Phis to remember that sisterhood perseveres from season to season, bringing joy and comfort.
We introduce you to Forget-Me-Not. This Chardonnay is a real gem. 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.
