Cameron Hughes Lot 339 2010 California Field Blend

"We seem to be at the shop late and consequently eat like Europeans well into the evening. Alot of times Eleni and I will just open a bottle have a glass put the cork back in it and open it again the next night. Cameron't wines are usually better the next day which tells me the winemaking is impecable and that the wines have structure. 339 has been very popular in the store and every time I have opened one true to form it's even been better the next night.....Jerry"

Field Blends are the result of a certain way of propagating vineyards in early 20th century California Viticulture 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. Our Field Blends are a delicious interpretation of this age-old concept. Lot 339 combines Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvedre for a tasty California spin on these famous Rhone varietals. This wine is the best of the old-world and the new, the classic and the updated…Purity of essence if you will. A phenomenal buy at $16" Cameron Hughes
