    An INSIDER DEAL to Sip and Savor! The Farmstrong Field Red

    By: Jon Thorsen Published: February 16, 2022 Last Updated: February 18, 2022

    THIS LIMITED TIME OFFER IS NOW EXPIRED! Sign up below to make sure you get the next one. Learn more about our winery direct INSIDER DEALS here.

    A truly old-vine blend to sip slowly, savor and appreciate! Save 41% with our 1 Day Insider Deal on the latest vintage of the Farmstrong Field Red from Onward Wines.

    An INSIDER DEAL to Sip and Savor! The Farmstrong Field Red

    Today we've got a pretty amazing old-vine and dry-farmed blend that begins in Redwood Valley with Carignane from the 80 year-old vines of the Hawkeye Ranch and Zinfandel from the 65 year-old vines of the Knox Vineyard. If that's not enough, there's also 28% Carignane from the 120+ year-old vines of the Casa Roja Vineyard in Contra Costa (planted in the late 1800's!) 19% Syrah (33% whole cluster fermented) from the Ledgewood Vineyard in Suisun Valley rounds out this beautiful blend.

    All in all, only 15 barrels of this old-vine beauty were produced. It was aged in 9% once-used and 91% neutral French oak for 10 months.

    This is a truly excellent, small production wine with a quality level light years beyond anything you'll find at the supermarket for this price. If you were lucky enough to get on the previous vintage of this wine or the recent offer of the Farmstrong Field Claret, then you know exactly what we're talking about.

    This wine already has a pretty reasonable SRP at $26.

    Today's deal; however, gets you 4 bottles of the 2017 Farmstrong Field Red for just $67.99 ($16.99 a bottle) plus only $5 for shipping.

    That's a discount of almost $10 a bottle and over 41% after factoring in the additional savings from our super low $5 shipping. Buy multiples and you save even more since you'll never pay more than $5 shipping, no matter how many 4-packs you buy.

    This 4-pack deal is available to ship to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MT, NC, ND, NE, NJ, NM, NV, NY, OH, OK, OR, PA, RI, SC, SD, TX, VA, VT, WA, WV, WI and WY. (These states are dependent on the individual licenses of the offering winery. Future deals may have more or less states available.)

    This limited time, winery direct offer ends Friday 2/18/2022 at noon (PT) unless it sells out sooner.

    Clicking on the buy button above will take you to the site winedealmaker.com to checkout. If you don't see the embedded buy box click here to order.

    If you have more questions or any trouble ordering please check out our FAQ! Also please note that ordering accounts are not automatically created so there is no need to login unless you have previously ordered and checked the box to create an account during checkout (which is not required).

    2017 Farmstrong Field Red

    From the winery:

    This wine fills the glass with aromas of dark fruit, pencil shavings, grilled bread and hints of freshly ground white pepper, which are complemented by flavors of black plums, preserves and cranberry.

    This wine has loads of fruit, mellow tannins and complex aromatics, it is a go-to red, she is super fun and refreshingly reliable.

    All three of the vineyard sites where the grapes of this blend are grown have a large diurnal temperature shift. This is a key element that allows the fruit to be balanced and beaming with flavor at lower sugars, allowing me to harvest earlier and retain the lovely natural acidity, vibrant red fruits and floral notes.

    2017 Farmstrong Field Red

    The 2017 Farmstrong Field Red needs a bit of air to open up but once it does it reveals a very pleasing aroma of ripe dark fruit and leather plus a little white pepper, wet stone and cedar.

    This is definitely not a big over-the-top wine but is more elegant and subtle in its excellent flavors and complexity. This easy drinking, medium-bodied blend features a super smooth, round, almost comforting mouthfeel with good fruit and hints of spice and white pepper. Really easy going and harmonious in just about every aspect, this is a wine to sip slowly, savor and appreciate.

    It ends dry with good length and is maybe even slightly better on day 2 although you'll probably have difficulty not drinking it all on day 1! This is a great choice for those who like lower alcohol, more elegant style wines.

    Here's what people are saying about our Insider Deals:

    "I am seriously considering having the Insider Deals as my primary go-to. Why did I not do this sooner? Thank you"

    "The only thing I have ever been disappointed in with an Insider Deal is that I didn't purchase more."

    "I love this wine I bought from you!!!! Thanks for doing what do do!!!"

    "This an absolutely amazing wine, Jon. And $5 shipping for four bottles? You've outdone yourself!"

    "Thanks Jon. We already drank all 6 of the first order so we were ecstatic to see you offering it again. My wife and I both love it."

    "You are a man after my own heart. I have always looked for the best and least expensive wine and you just made it easier. Cheers!"

    "Hi Jon, well, I did something people have warned about - bought 6 bottles and should have bought 12!"

    "Great deals for delicious wines!"

    "We've gotten in on three of the deals and have been VERY happy with the value. I originally was going to do a wine club thing but the insider deal appeals to me much more."

    "The $5 or $10 shipping on the Insider Deals is another great part of the deal. We recently paid $27 to a winery in California to ship 6 bottles (same packaging as the insider deals)....yikes!"

    "Just got my 6 bottles and having my first glass. WHY, WHY didn't I buy a case??!!"

    "I really missed the boat by only getting four bottles of this offer last month. Should have bought least at a case."

    "My wife and I have really enjoyed getting to know new wines (and better than we used to buy!)​ Thanks for what you do and providing this service!​"

    "Jon - you have to stop offering all of these amazing deals. My self discipline is fading fast!!"

    "I recently took advantage of your offer. So glad I did, and now sorry I did not buy more (like all those quotes on your website!)"

    "The wine is outstanding. I am so glad I bought a case."

    "Jon, I should have bought more! Delicious!!"

    "I am a Certified Specialist of Wine. I love your deals. You pick great wines!! Kudos to you for getting us great deals!"

    "Wish I would have ordered more!! It was great. Looking back, I wish I didn’t open it at our annual pool party. It’s gone. **Sob**"

    "thanks for the deal...this wine is spectacular for $12.50/bottle. I am used to buying big, bold, young cabs or old vine zins and paying considerably more multiples of this price."

    "Hi Jon, just had to let you know that I love this wine!!!! Thanks for doing what you do."

    "I have purchased many times over the last several months and loved the wines!"

    "Seriously amazing deal!!! I love a bold red, and Reverse Wine Snob delivered!!! Perfect for a rainy night!!"

    "AMAZING!! Damn, I should have bought a CASE!!"

    "WOW. Just... wow. Absolutely delicious. If I knew it was going to be this good, I would have bought a case... or two. This was dead-center in the sweet spot of what I like. Thank you!!"

    "I have loved all my RWS deals, can't wait to get this one."

    "I know that you don't need to have 'customers' email you every time they like a wine that you have suggested/rated, and I have enjoyed many of your recommendations. But this Tannat was spectacular! Wow! That was amazing!"

    "I finally opened a bottle of this and it did not disappoint. Delicious!!!"

    "Thanks for a great service! We’ve been loving your emails and wine deals!"

    "This insider deal is a great wine!!! So glad I got it!!"

    "My Insider Deal arrived just in time for my celebration tonight and it’s absolutely delicious! Cheers!"

    "Wish I had doubled my order!"

    "Wow - this wine is amazing!!! Glad I have two more bottles of it!!"

    "Bought a case wish I had purchased 2-3 cases. Fantastic buy for the price."

    "This Insider Deal was the best ever. This wine is amazing!!! Strongly recommend."

    Grab this deal while you can! It ends Friday 2/18 at noon Pacific.
