At its simplest, Field Blends are the result of a certain way of propagating vineyards in early 20th century California Viticulture (a technique most certainly learned from Europe however), wherein various vines were planted in a vineyard and the underperformers had their heads lopped off to be replaced by budwood from the best performers. Trial and Error (or Darwinism) at its best, if you will.

Our favorite, got us hooked on CH
Absolutely wonderful wine, which started our addiction with CH's wines. We happened to sample this at a tasting and have since bought 2 cases of this to enjoy. Reminds us of Prisoner, likely due to the Zin, syrah, petite syrah percentages - but at 1/3 the price! The only caveat for us with this wine is we enjoy it best as a stand-alone wine, outside of a meal. We just haven't found the right foods to really complement it, but by no way does that stop us from enjoying the bottle without food!
