Field Recordings FRANC 2021
100% Cabernet Franc from a mix of three Paso vineyards: Hinterland, Dry Creek, and Dos Robles. 50% Whole cluster fermentation in open top bins with native yeast. For 8 months, 80% of this vintage is seasoned in large format American Oak Foeders ranging from 1,200 to 1,500 gallons. The remaining 20% was aged in 225L neutral French oak barrels. A rustic punch of home made strawberry jam under golden hay, blueberries, black cherries and red currants with a touch of mint and rosemary. Enjoy with asada tacos, chili cook-offs and BBQ chicken pizza. A Field Recordings classic. Great to drink with friends after a hard days’ work.
