What the critics are saying about SoloRosa...

WINE OF THE WEEK: Dallas Morning News, August 6, 2003 (Diane Teitelbaum)
"Here's the second release from that crazy wine writer, Jeff Morgan, who has a winery with only one wine. This year the wine is even better than the debut. SoloRosa is a dry, full-bodied rosé. The wine is a rich salmon pink, has spicy and fruity aromas, and lots of flavor."

WINE OF THE WEEK: Los Angeles Times, July 16, 2003 (S. Irene Virbila)
"Think rosés are wimpy? This bottle might change your mind. It's the second release from SoloRosa, the only winery in the country devoted entirely to rosés. Rose-petal pink, the 2002 is bone-dry, packed with fruit and accented with a firm acidity (all the better to go with food). Made from a blend of Sangiovese, Syrah and Merlot and barrel-fermented in older French casks, this beguiling California rosé makes a fine aperitif, but it can also hold its own against a´oli, grilled fish and vegetables, and almost anything else. This well-crafted rosé, in fact, may be the perfect summer wine."

Los Angeles Times, July 2, 2003 (Rod Smith)
"The one glass that goes with everything....SoloRosa is another superb California rosé...It's lively mélange of red-fruit flavors (mainly raspberry, cranberry and strawberry) ride on a creamy texture that results from aging in neutral oak barrels."

American Way Magazine, August 2003 (Anthony Dias Blue)
"This is a bone-dry rosé in the Southern French style, and a subtle dose of French oak adds complexity and sophistication. The racy and crisp 2002 SoloRosa is one of the best bang-for-the-buck rosés around."

Atlanta Journal-Constitution, July 31, 2003 (Jane Garvey)
"Generous, rich, round mouth feel thanks to barrel fermentation....loads of explosive raspberry spice fruit on the palate." Top-rated.

Chicago Tribune, June 29, 2003 (William Rice)
"The bouquet is gentle and beckoning, cherry-berry with a touch of anise. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied, fruity but dry, and beautifully balanced."

Oakland Tribune, June 25, 2003 (Charles Olkenaka Co)
"For my money, the best of breed in this small but growing category is the brand new 2001 Solo Rosa wine. It sells for $15, which might seem steep for a pink wine, but the quality is in the bottle and it made a fine mate to our ribs."

Santa Rosa Press Democrat, May 28, 2003
"A vibrant, dry rosé, with some complexity. Aromas and flavors of strawberry, apricot, grapefruit and lime." Atlanta Monthly, April (Elizabeth McDonald) "..this perky gem. Youthful, ripe red cherries on the nose and tart cranberry throughout. A clean, confident finish. It begs for ripe goat cheese, some salty almonds and a fruity, dense brown bread."

Seattle Times, July 2, 2003 (Paul Gregutt)
"Winemaker Jeff Morgan's Solo Rosa winery makes a powerful, barrel-fermented rosé from equal portions of sangiovese, syrah and merlot."

Austin Statesman, June 25, 2003 (Jordan Mackay)
"SoloRosa is an exuberantly fruity little number that would pair nicely with salty meats such as ham."

Saint Helena Star, May 2003 (Alan Goldfarb)
"...aromas of grapefruit which translate on the palate to exciting fresh fruit. The wine is very bright and delicious."

Denver Post, June 22, 2003 (Tara Q. Thomas)
"(For) a big, juicy, all-American burger wine....try a gutsy pink, such as SoloRosa, which has the weight of a white wine but the conviction of a red."
