You know, as passionate about Pinot Noir as we are, sometimes you need one that shakes things up and reminds you that wine is so much less about gravitas and provocation than it is about pure enjoyment. This is one of those wines, made largely with carbonic maceration which brings an incredibly bright and high toned nature to the wine, this is a Pinot Noir for immediate consumption with friends and loved ones.
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.
