Field Recordings Franc 2017
Paso Robles, San Luis Obispo County, Central Coast, California, United StatesAndrew Jones is a vine nursery fieldman, planning and planting vineyards across California. Field Recordings is his personal garagiste project from special sites and vines he's become familiar with over the years. This cabernet franc is sourced from various vineyards across Paso Robles, aged for six months in neutral French oak barriques. This is a trio of franc's intrinsic herbaceousness, with Paso's inherent ripeness, and Jones' hands-off winemaking. The result is a youthful, chillable red, with a slight carbonic spritz, medium+ acidity and ample raspberry, red currant fruit. Tannins are softly grippy on the sides and alcohol is light at 11.9 degrees. Chill and enjoy this summer.Tasted: 19 May 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $45.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
