Rose of Syrah 2016
Tasting notes seem like overkill for a rosé. Do you really need to give it that much thought? Maybe a playlist would be more helpful. More on that in a moment. Hold our rosé up to the light. What color do you see? It’s not quite scarlet, not quite vermillion, but somewhere in between. Let’s keep it simple and call it orange-red. Now taste it. Ours is made from Syrah so you might expect something bold and fruity. Not so fast. With ours you’ll taste tart cherries, macerated strawberries and nectarines. The acidity is bracing and there is a surprising backbone of lime zest and white pepper.

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.
