Wine Information:

First Sorority: 

What does it mean to be the first? It’s setting the trend for others to follow. It’s forging a new path, using your True and Constant values as a compass. In 1882, Professor Frank Smalley of Syracuse University remarked to a Gamma Phi member, “I presume that you young women feel very elated over being members of a sorority.” Delighted with this new word that meant “sisterhood,” Gamma Phi Beta members immediately adopted it, thus becoming the first (but certainly not the last) Greek-letter organization to identify themselves as a sorority.

We introduce you to First Sorority. 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.

First Sorority 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.

The Scholar: 

Founder Frances Elizabeth Haven once wrote “The Founders of Gamma Phi Beta were a rather serious minded group of girls.” And for good reason. At a time when higher education was not an assumed path for young women, Gamma Phi Beta’s founders were pioneers and eager to prove their worth and contributions to academic endeavors. Among this group, was Founder Helen M. Dodge who was nicknamed “the scholar.” Helen enjoyed a life of scholarship and made education a lifelong pursuit. Similar to her founding sisters, Helen appreciated the rarity and value of the opportunity they’d been given for scholastic achievement and she proved women – especially Gamma Phi Betas – can accomplish what they set out to do.

We introduce you to The Scholar. Our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of 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.
