We tasted this wine as a staff when samples were sent out and it took approximately five seconds to decide we had to have this on the platform. The wine is packed to the lid with flavor, savory dried herbs and black tea with luscious blue and blackberries. This field blend was planted in the early 1960's and sees 20 months in neutral barrel.
Each year we eagerly await our small allocation of natural wines from Jason Charles and his Berkeley-based winery, Vinca Minor. Jason works with organically farmed vineyards throughout Northern California. The winery's motto, "Soil, grape and sun" speaks to Jason's journey through the wine industry that includes an initial harvest internship in Sonoma leading to a formative stop in Bordeaux before returning home. His wines are also incredibly reflective of Jason's experience as a photographer, combining an artist's eye and touch with a farming first ethos to craft wines of purity and complexity.
