Wines Included in This Set
Field Russian River Chardonnay Natural Wine
Organically grown grapes, they come from a small part of the Field family vines where the soil is rich in minerals and has a sandy and loamy texture. This chardonnay is made with whole cluster fermentation and native yeast fermentation before being aged in neutral oak.
The 2020 vintage of this Russian River chardonnay is riper, with notes of flint on the nose and pineapple on the palate. Then the 2021 is more reserved and could use some extra time to open. It has a more mineral presence with an apple profile thanks to an earlier harvest in 2021. Overall, in both vintages we find a chardonnay that is balanced with great minerality and fruit and has a long finish.
Small production of only 250 cases were made of this Russian River Chardonnay.

Clos des Amis Old Vine Zinfandel Single Vineyard
This California Zin is not like the others. A different take, it has the expected plums and fruits, but is not a fruit bomb like a lot of other zinfandel wines; rather it is balanced and complex. As said on the back label, ‘This Zin is so alive, we call it a Zing!Fandel.’
Made from 30 year old vines in the Upper Ojai Valley in California, the single vineyard these grapes come from is known as ‘Block F’. Part of this wine’s peculiarity comes from not only the native yeast fermentation, but also that it was made with carbonic maceration.
An unoaked red wine, this california zinfandel is a great way to taste something new and different!

Ojai Pacific View Dolcetto California Red Wine
This mother-daughter winery keep hitting home runs with their ‘experimental’ 1 acre vineyard of dolcetto on a mountaintop in upper Ojai, California, which started with a vine plant they brought back with them from Piedmont Italy over 10 years ago. Their super small production Dolcetto experiment is a success, backed up with back-to-back gold medals on their 2019 & 2020 vintage, and then winning Double Gold and Best of Class in the International Womens Winemakers competition.
The latest 2020 vintage produced only 23 cases and was aged for over a year in neutral oak. It is fresh and juicy with rich wild berry cassis-like taste. It's an approachable yet complex with a mineral-saline finish.
A dark purple color, the nose is complex with a mix of plum, herbs, flint and vanilla spice. The fruit and terroir of this old world new world dolcetto red wine that really stands out, thanks to the high altitude and marine fossil soil of this wine estate in upper Ojai.
