Phoenix - 2020 Chardonnay - Russian River Valley

There is a significant symbol used in our coat of arms and as the name of our magazine. This is the phoenix, a miraculous bird of great beauty. The phoenix, the only one of its kind, after living 500 or 600 years on the Arabian wilderness, built for itself a funeral pyre of spices and aromatic gums, lighted the pile by the fanning of its wings and was burned upon it. Yet from the ashes it arose revived, in the freshness of youth and more beautiful than before. The phoneix reminds Alpha Sigma Alphas that fine and beautiful ideals are everlasting. The ideals to which Alpha Sigma Alpha asks members to ascribe are centuries old; though they be subjected to destroying fires, they rise again, beautiful and enduring as before.

We introduce you to Phoenix. 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.
