Founder Frances E. Haven Moss made her mark as The Artist among Gamma Phi Beta’s founding sisters, and the original The Artist vintage celebrated the arts and culture that is woven into the fabric of Gamma Phi Beta. Inspired by Frances’s legacy, this chardonnay highlights an original work of art, “Wildflower” by Alyssa Hamilton (Northern Iowa), who shared this inspiration: “I imagine my child, and possible legacy, being a wildflower. I have a feeling all that wildness will come together in something undeniably beautiful; bright, vibrant, and full of life.”

We introduce you to The Artist. 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.
