Field Recordings

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that pre-1980, California had only a handful of wineries compared to today’s renaissance era. While the focus still tends to be on Napa Valley and Sonoma County AVAs, Paso Robles is moving in on the titans, especially with Cabernet Sauvignon. Andrew Jones’ 2013 Field Recordings Cabernet Sauvignon “Hinterland Vineyard” easily compares to more a familiar name from Paso Robles - Justin Isosceles. Richly-fruited and exotic, but structured for the long haul. This is a stunning find for those hunting the best values in California Cab.
