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. — 4 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. — 5 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! — 5 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. — 5 years ago

Friza Rose 2017

had less then 48 hours in bucharest, Romania.
managed a legendary (ok-ish) white blend, one indigenous white glass and one indigenous red glass.
all was nice but nothing to write home about.

managed to grab a bottle of this cheapo pinot noir pet nat rose at the airport for an unfair price(10 euro which is 30% more then easily found price in a simple internet search)

11% ABV

pale pink with tiny bubbles. 👀

mostly bread crumbs, lemon and cherry👃

medium minus body.
high bright acidity.

a bit of funk with lemon, pear and those sour cherries again 👄

light 🎯

not too bad. balanced but not exciting.
not as good as an israely pet nat rose i had not so while ago, but that was more than double the Price.

but it's quaffable bubbles and doesn't get in your way.

excellent vfm. ridiculous price (about 25 nis).

had it with ordinary 🍕 hut ordered for the kids.
they got along but i see no future for them.

Also raisins. Palate is nice merlot with cassis, herbs, red berries, and just the slightest cedar box. Lovely. — 5 years ago

Testa Vineyard Carignane

Just a killer bottle of Carignane. Focused fruit with herbal notes and good acidity. A richer mid-palate. Right up there with Sandlands, Vinca Minor, and Forlorn Hope as my favorite domestic renditions. — 8 years ago
