This one-of-kind lot from Three Wine Company offers a rare opportunity to own three meticulously crafted bottles from the historic Live Oak Vineyard in Oakley, California. Included in the lot are a 1.5L magnum, a 3L Jeroboam, and a 9L Salmanazar of the 2023 Zinfandel, each featuring a stunning vineyard scene painted by artist Obadiah Hunter, known for his plein air painting which refers to the 19th century French impressionist style of painting in the open air rather than painting in a studio.
The fruit for this exceptional wine comes from the Live Oak Vineyard, which was planted in 1885 by Italian immigrants Spike and Guido Mazzoni. Located in the heart of Contra Costa County, this ancient vineyard is known for its small yields of just 3.5 tons per acre, producing Zinfandel with remarkable concentration, silken texture, and layers of vibrant fruit. The 2023 vintage showcases the signature flavors of ripe black cherries, boysenberries, and spice, with a subtle earthy minerality that speaks to the unique terroir of this historic site.
This lot represents not only a stunning example of California winemaking in truly rare large-format bottles but also an opportunity to own a piece of history!
