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.
Resolute - Military Red:
Founded in 1856 at Norwich University, a military school, Theta Chi Fraternity has a proud military tradition and record of service. Since the Civil War, brothers have fought on land, sea, and air, with hundreds giving the last full measure of devotion protecting our freedom.
Military Red, the second of our Resolute series – our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon that 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.
Dream Girl:
“The smile in her glance tells of tender romance and a love that I’m longing to share…”
In the 1940s, renowned Swing and Sway Big Band leader Sammy Kaye (Alpha Tau/Ohio 1932) penned one of Theta Chi’s ultimate love songs which has been sung by brothers across the world to “the girl they will always love best…”
Much like our timeless ballad, Dream Girl 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.
