Roussanne 2015
You don’t see Roussanne every day. Very little of it is grown in the US – less than 400 acres in all of California. And what there is is very fussy. Roussanne ripens very late and very unevenly. In a cool site such as Vivio, you might eek out two tons per acre if you’re lucky. Our version is at once savory and fruity, exotic and familiar. If those descriptors seem inconsistent, well, that’s Roussanne for you. On the nose, nectarine, pear and peach.

Sosie Wines
We live in the bear state of California but are inspired by the wines of France. So we employ an old world approach to wine growing that favors restraint over ripeness, finesse over flamboyance. We are joined in this pursuit by Kieran Robinson, whose winemaking career has taken him from the Finger Lakes of New York to the Côte Rôtie in France to Napa Valley, where he’s worked with such luminaries as Paul Hobbs, Aaron Pott and Michel Rolland.
Sosie wines are crafted to be food-friendly: lower in alcohol with high natural acidity, nuanced flavors and firm structure. They are made in small batches with minimal intervention and the lightest touch of oak. Our aim is to craft wines that show a kinship with the wines of Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire and the Rhone. Wines that are their sosie*. We hope you enjoy them.

* Sosie, pronounced so-zee, is French for look-alike or double.
