Fields Family 2010 Sherman Family Vineyards Zinfandel (Lodi)
- $24
This is a complex Lodi old-vine Zinfandel with boysenberry and blackberry notes poking through layers of complexity and a touch of dusty plum. It has a strata of black licorice throughout the midpalate, with a peppery, wild herb flavor keeping it interesting. Notes of espresso and leather mark the finish, and a controlled amount of acidity keeps in balance.

Fields Family 2009 Estate Syrah (Lodi)
- $18
Lodi isn’t the first region that comes to mind when it comes to California Syrah, but this one could change minds. It has a mountainous mouthfeel, with flavors of tar, blackberry and spice. The wine’s aromas need coaxing, but once they surface, a firm and fruity wine emerges.

- $18
This wine might need more time in bottle before truly blossoming. Its soft layers of red fruit are just starting to open up.

Fields Family 2010 Big Red (Lodi)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
This is comprised of equal parts Zin and Syrah, with smaller amounts of Carignane, Petite Sirah and Merlot. It’s big and full, just as the name implies, bearing plummy, meaty notes, with a spicy finish.

Fields Family 2009 Merlot (Oak Knoll)
- $28
Clean, proper and balanced, this Merlot doesn’t excite, but gets the job done in a nice way. It’s dry, tannic and crisp, with flavors of cherries, tobacco, cola and spices.

Fields Family 2009 Dr. Konrad’s Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Mount Veeder)
- $59
Soft and slightly one-dimensional, this bears blackberry and cherry jam flavors enriched with smoky oak. There’s a funky, Syrah-like bacon note, too. It’s not likely to improve with age, so drink up.
