Sonoma Valley Chardonnay 2020

Excellent chard. Tasting great now. Lemon, honeysuckle, wax, rain on a field from nose. So expressive. Palate is lovely, oyster shells, lemon in multiple forms, some cream, honey on red apples. Just outstanding! — 10 months ago

Mendocino Carignan Sauvignon Blanc 2020

Vinca Minor bubbly/bubbly 2020 nouveau with Carignan and Sauvignon blanc. A lot of similar flavors to his rose although has that fermented grape juice flavor of nouveau. Tons of peach, pear, a bit of tropical fruit, a bucketful of different minerals/rocks, and a long finish for such a young wine. — 6 years ago

Vinca Minor Old Vine & Dry Farmed Mendocino Sauvignon Blanc 2019

Holy funk! I forget the story but man is this stone fruit for days but really juicy with a acidic bitterness like apple cider. Also some melon, herbs, saline. Crazy complex. This is for those orange wine lovers! — 6 years ago

Mendocino Carignan 2018

Best Carignan I’ve had. So drinkable but great complexity, excellent with food or without. Some cherries, anise, hint of cream, brick/dirt, good tannin. Probably has a lot of time in the bottle to age. — 6 years ago

soil, grape, and sun, coombsville merlot 2018

This is soil, grape, and sun, coombsville merlot. A product of vinca minor winery. So young! I opened at 2 pm and now it is opening up 4 hours later. I get flowers and herbs on the nose. Also raisins. Palate is nice merlot with cassis, herbs, red berries, and just the slightest cedar box. Lovely. — 6 years ago

Santa Cruz Mountains Pinot Noir 2018

Not my favorite from vinca minor. It is good expression of fresh Pinot but not super complex. Will see with some more bottle age. — 6 years ago
