Field Recordings, Fiction Red 2020 750ml

Personality: “Pours the color of darkest night. Heady aromas of blueberry pie, luxurious suede couches, ham paninis, unlit menthol cigarettes and Roquefort tarts. Firm tannins anchor flavors of grilled meats, cherry cola, sweet carob and black licorice chews, all cased up together conveniently in a cigar humidifier. Drink now,” the winemaker recommends. Great with spicy vegetable dishes and all kinds of roasted meat, from humble BBQ sausage to top-notch ribs and steaks.

Vineyard: Blend of different sustainable and organic vineyards across Paso Robles AVA: Loomis, Old Potrero, Beato, Armory, Alta Gaviota, Guglielmo Giovanni, Wilderness, Creston Ridge, Koligian, Hinterland

Making of: The grapes are usually vinified separately – the native ferment either as whole berries, or carbonic for 7 or 21 days. The wines then age around 10 months in American, Russian, French oak barrels and foudres (20% new). Blended, filtered, bottled with a small addition of sulfur.

Winemaker's Note: Winemaker’s note: “A delicious ‘snapshot’ of what Paso Robles can do – blend of multiple vineyards and multiple varieties made for every occasion. Ready for tonight, tomorrow or this weekend.”
