Bitter Pops® Field Recordings About Time Merlot California 750ml. – 8205740572916

Grapes: Merlot

Vineyards: Castoro Estate in Paso Robles 

Making of: “We gave the white glove treatment to this organic Merlot from Paso Robles.  Minimal pumpovers and processing to keep some nice fresh fruit flavors,” says Jones. The grapes fermented in open-top tanks for 14 days before aging 5 months in stainless steel and another 5 months in neutral oak. 

Personality: fresh fruit, plum sauce, tobacco leaf — “All the things you want out of a daily drinking claret for your dining table,” says Jones. 

Winemaker Andrew Jones has a keen eye for diamonds in the rough: sites that are unknown or under-appreciated but hold enormous untapped potential. He strives for unique wines loaded with personality and a one-of-a-kind experience.

Field Recordings is winemaker Andrew Jones’ personal catalog of the people and places he values most. Our wines are all about the flavor — with none of the pretension.

Spending his days as a vine nursery fieldman planning and planting vineyards for farmers all over California, Andrew is sometimes offered small lots of their best fruit on the side. Having stood in just about every vineyard on the Central Coast, he’s all about finding those underdogs with untapped potential. As friendships are made and opportunities are embraced, Andrew produces small quantities of soulful wine from these unusual, quiet vineyards.

We offer single-vineyard wines with a sense of place and personality, as well as delightful blends under our Wonderwall and Fiction projects. These bottles are good enough to save for a special occasion … but we’re a laidback crew, so don’t feel bad about putting one back on a Tuesday night.
