Primarily sourced from the same vineyards as fan favorite Lot 362, Lot 396 is a fantastic wine that begins with a Zinfandel base, with layers of Syrah, Petite Sirah, and a touch of Graciano to round things out. If you're a fan of the Field Blends we've released so far, you won't be disappointed with this one. Big, bold, beautiful.

Good Value Wine
This is a nice everyday wine, and well worth the price point. It is medium bodied a little lighter in color than I expected for a syrah. It is fruit forward at first sip and then hints of oak come through. I rate this wine as a buy but I prefer the 2012 Lodi vintages.

Great blend!
If you like blends, you've come to the right place. Lot 396 is a champ--great flavor and color and complexity. Plus, at $14, it's a great value. Highly recommend!

A wonderful blend!
I hesitated buying this lot because it's a 2011. However I'm pleased that I did purchase this lot since it is very enjoyable. We typically like blends that are Zin based with Syrah and Petite Syrah to round out the blend. This wine is no exception. This is a dry wine with a silky finish. Benefits from aeration.

What a crazy deal!!!
I'm so upset that this never showed up on the website!!! I had to learn about this from my sister and brother-in-law in NJ (who I also got hooked on CH wine). We found some of this in FL at a Sam's Club for $9.99 bottle. What a steal!! This was young, fresh, drinkable. There is nothing bad I could say about this wine, let alone the fact that it was only $10!!! Another great effort!!!
