Wine Information:

The Teddy Bear:

In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt refused to shoot a captured bear during a Mississippi hunting expedition, believing it unsportsmanlike. The story inspired a famous political cartoon and, soon after, a stuffed bear created in his honor: “Teddy’s Bear.”

Roosevelt was also a brother of Delta Kappa Epsilon’s Alpha Chapter at Harvard and a member of the Class of 1880, carrying DKE’s values of character, leadership, and lifelong friendship throughout his remarkable life.

The Teddy Bear raises a glass to Brother Roosevelt and his enduring place in American and DKE history. This 2020 Napa Valley Cabernet, presented as part of 1844 Reserve, is a fitting tribute to a larger-than-life Deke and the brotherhood that has defined Delta Kappa Epsilon since 1844.

We introduce you to The Teddy Bear. Our 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautifully expressive wine that captures the essence of classic Napa Valley. The nose bursts with vibrant aromas of ripe black currant, blackberry, boysenberry, and dark plum. On the palate, it's full-bodied and richly layered, offering depth and intensity of dark fruit flavors. Silky tannins and fresh acidity create a harmonious balance, while notes of dark chocolate, cedar, and a subtle hint of minerality lead into a long, elegant finish.

Lanpher Legacy:

Lanpher Legacy Pinot Noir celebrates the consequential service of Doug Lanpher, Gamma ’77, during his tenure as Executive Director of Delta Kappa Epsilon. This Collector's wine honors a legacy of leadership, friendship, and brotherhood that has strengthened DKE for more than sixteen years.

Crafted in the cool climate of the Russian River Valley, this elegant Pinot Noir opens with bright aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and brown sugar, accented by warm baking spices. On the palate, vibrant strawberry flavors unfold into a round, velvety mouthfeel, and a long, graceful finish.

Raise a glass to celebrate the glorious history and the equally exciting future of DKE. We hope you can enjoy this special vintage with special “Friends from the Heart.”

Deke Scholars:

Savor the taste of excellence and the spirit of scholarship. Delta Kappa Epsilon values academic achievement, fostering a love for learning and intellectual growth. This carefully crafted wine celebrates the pursuit of knowledge and the dedication to academic excellence. Raise your glass to the commitment to scholarship that defines DKE, inspiring its members to reach new heights of success. Cheers to the scholars of DKE and the pursuit of excellence.

We introduce you to Deke Scholars. From the chalky soil of the Carneros region in southern Napa Valley, this gem exhibits lush green apple and bright grapefruit notes while dancing across your palate. This stunning wine is light and friendly with very subtle vanilla and pear blossom hints on the nose. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Napa Chardonnay.
