Vinca Minor
2020 Carignan // Petite Sirah // Gewurztraminer
$32
Redwood Valley // Anderson Valley // Mendocino
Last year’s fires forced us to be creative and to move fast. By early September there was already a high potential of smoke taint for most vineyards in Northern California. We approached our classic dry farmed vineyards with a lighter touch for a deeper style rose.
In the winery we co-fermented the carignan and petite sirah for five days on the skins and then gently pressed into older french barrels. The coastal gewurztraminer was blended the following spring. The finished wine hits peak fall flavors of ripe peaches and blackberries. Drink chilled.
