Crescent
2020 Cabernet Sauvignon – Napa Valley
Stephen Alonzo Jackson was a merchant by trade and traveled extensively throughout the United States. In the early days of Kappa Sigma, each trip would also further the expansion of the Fraternity. Between 1873 and 1892, Brother Jackson established 45 new Kappa Sigma Fraternity Chapters beginning with the Mu Chapter at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia to the Alpha-Kappa Chapter at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. This explosion of new chapters occurred along the third longest train route in the United States known as the Crescent, which Brother Jackson used frequently. Established in 1847 by the Richmond and Danville Railroad, the Crescent eventually connected New York City to New Orleans, Louisiana and provided a vital trade route for the eastern United States.
We introduce you to our flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, Crescent. This is a premium and classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hints 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.

S. A. Jackson
2021 Pinot Noir – Russian River Valley
No Brother is more celebrated or has had a greater impact in Kappa Sigma’s history than Stephen Alonzo Jackson, affectionately known as the Golden-Hearted Virginian. Born on September 22, 1852 in Abingdon, Virginia, “Lon” Jackson as he was known was described “Gentle as a woman, firm as a rock – a perfect bundle of nervous energy. His love of the Fraternity knew no bounds, and his enthusiasm was so contagious that it influenced everybody who came within his reach.” At the Baltimore convention of 1876 he was elected Worthy Grand Master, the first to hold that office. He married Mary Ernest later that year and would go on to father two future Kappa Sigma Brothers: J. Ernest Jackson (Mu Chapter) and Minter Jackson (Lambda Chapter). Stephen Alonzo Jackson died before his 40th birthday on March 4, 1892. At the 1894 Richmond Grand Conclave, March 4th was officially pronounced and is still celebrated within Kappa Sigma as Stephen Alonzo Jackson Day.
We introduce you to S.A. Jackson. This premium Pinot Noir is from the Russian River Valley AVA of Sonoma County. This beautiful wine is influenced mostly by the fog of the AVA and is very aromatic, with a velvet mouthfeel, and has a fruit character that is ripe and intense.

Halo
2021 Cuvée Blanc – Napa Valley
As the first Worthy Grand Master of Kappa Sigma Fraternity, Stephen Alonzo Jackson described his vision for a revised ritual in his famous “Apples of Gold” speech at the Grand Conclave in Richmond, Virginia in 1878. The “halo” Jackson described was a beautifully expanded and symbolic Ritual which he introduced in 1880 at the Grand Conclave in Abingdon, Virginia. Drawing on his knowledge of Masonic ritual forms and ceremonies, he incorporated the history shared through the experiences of Brother Arnold and the European teachings of Brother Hollingsworth to build a unique ceremony that binds all members of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. One that requires a belief in certain values including that man is responsible to a higher authority.
We introduce you to our elegant Halo Cuvée Blanc. This is an alluring and complex white wine blend, with a sensuous offering of tropical fruits, white flowers and subtle spice. The nose is like a bouquet of flowers and jumps from the glass with ripe lemon, white peach and orange blossom followed by notes of toast and white pepper. On the tongue, lemon bursts forward with pineapple and other tropical fruit, with undertones of vanilla. The finish is bright and zingy and mellows with vanilla and subtle spices in its length.
