VICTORY
2021 Cabernet Sauvignon – California
This is the cover image on the November 1943 Kappa Alpha Journal… a KA take on the “Victory!” movement in WWII allied efforts… in 2025 we offer “Victory!” Cabernet as a celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Allied Forces Victory, lead in major part by KA alumni, General George C. Marshall and General George S. Patton.
This 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from California is a bold and expressive wine, with rich aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry complemented by hints of mocha and cedar. On the palate, it delivers a full-bodied experience with layers of blackcurrant, plum, and savory notes.

Mulberry Hill
2021 Chardonnay – California
While the Headquarters for Kappa Alpha Order has been in New Orleans, Louisville, Atlanta, and in other locations in Lexington, Virginia, none have been finer than Mulberry Hill. For 20 years the National Administrative Office and KAOEF have been based from one of Virginia’s most revered manor homes. Including eight acres of park-like grounds, two additional buildings, a veterans memorial and entry gate, arriving at Mulberry Hill evokes the best feeling—that of arriving at home.
This 2021 Chardonnay from California is a beautifully balanced wine, offering vibrant aromas of ripe apple, pear, and citrus, with subtle notes of vanilla and toasted almond.

Fall Release
Introducing the Fall 2024 varietal and label
Founders Red – William Archibald Walsh
2021 Red Wine – Napa Valley
It was in William Archibald Walsh’s room, at the southernmost end of the old South Dorm at Washington College, that James Ward Wood proposed a toast to Walsh and William Nelson Scott, a toast to “the two Williams,” on December 21, 1865. They swore together for a mutual pledge of faith and loyalty. Thus, Kappa Alpha Order was born. Raise your own toast with this Founders Red, featuring a beautiful dark color from a concentrated vintage, this wine leads out with brooding dark fruit aromas of black cherry, blackberries and baking spices with some underlying clay earth and toasty oak. This full-bodied wine is juicy and approachable, but with time, like our Order, ages well and comes from a deep and heralded vintage.
We introduce you to Founders Red – William Archibald Walsh. Beautiful dark color from a concentrated vintage, this wine leads out with brooding dark fruit aromas of black cherry, blackberries and baking spices with some underlying clay earth and toasty oak. The palate dances with bright fruits that turn darker with time in this full-bodied wine, which is juicy and approachable now, but will also reveal other nuances with age, especially coming from a deep and heralded vintage.
