Winestyr Review

This natural Carignan, made with fruit sourced from very old vines on a dry farmed vineyard, is immensely enjoyable. Rich and pure red fruit flavors are met with a beautiful backbone of earth and spice. This wine is just so pleasing to drink that you'll have a hard time not pouring a second glass. Native yeast fermented with 100% whole cluster. Aged for 16 months in neutral french oak. Bottled un-fined and unfiltered.

The Winery

Vinca Minor

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.
