Our WinesThis year, SoloRosa celebrates its 9th vintage and remains the only winery in America founded on dry rosé. In 2008 we produced two rosés – a pinot noir rose and our classic blend principally from Syrah and Pinot Noir grapes. These wines are beautifully structured with firm, bright acidity that supports a core of brilliant raspberry, cherry, citrus, herb and mineral flavors. It’s as refreshing as rosé can be, yet it carries enough weight and complexity to also please the most discerning aficionados. “What’s all the fuss about?” asked Connoisseurs’ Guide last year in its first-ever rosé round-up. It’s “a fuss created in part because folks like SoloRosa started making serious rosé.”
It’s true. We are serious about pink wine. Hence the name—SoloRosa—which means in Italian, “only pink”. There remains in our cellar a small bit of 2006 Syrah Rosé and a whopping 20-odd cases of 2005 Sangiovese rosé as well. These “library wines” are still showing their distinctive character as singularly well-made, complex pink wines. Who says rosé doesn’t age? Well, we don’t suggest aging them like red wines, but a few years in the cellar can bring on complex qualities that are not always apparent in a wine’s youth. Try a bottle or two and see for yourself.
