Avenue Vine

And their three new offering: SoloRosa 2005 Russian River Valley Syrah Rosé 750ml.; SoloRosa 2005 Napa Valley, Sangiovese Rosé 750ml.; SoloRosa 2005 Napa Valley, Late Harvest Rosé--Made from ultra-ripe Napa Valley Sangiovese grapes in a 375-ml half bottles.

Their rosés are bone dry, brimming with ripe cherry and raspberry flavors, tempered by tangy acidity, a flinty mineral core, and just a hint of toastiness. The wine is aged for five months exclusively in 2- to 4-year-old French oak barrels and offers multiple layers of intensity–elegant to say the least!

“It's hard to believe this our SIXTH vintage. We've grown from 1 barrel of Sangiovese rosé to 120 barrels that now include four different rosés. Why four rosés? Because we've identified grape sources that merit four different styles of pink wine.”

“Our benchmark rosé—SoloRosa California—is made from the same two vineyards and varietals we have been so fortunate to work with since our first commercial release. Fifty percent of the blend is Sangiovese from the Atlas Peak Vineyard in Napa Valley. The other fifty percent is Merlot from the Levantini Vineyard in Lodi. This wine remains the mainstay of our winemaking program.”

“Additionally, last year we purchased a small amount of Syrah from a single vineyard in the Russian River Valley in the hope of making a reserve rosé. Our hopes were realized as we watched the dark pink juice ferment and develop into a wonderfully complex wine that we think merits serious attention. We also identified 10 unusually distinctive barrels of Sangiovese from the Atlas Peak Vineyard in Napa Valley. We couldn't bring ourselves to blend it away. So we bottled this tiny batch of wine as yet another reserve rosé with a distinctive blue label. SoloRosa "Blue Label" is our answer to Domaines Ott and Tempier. We love Old World wines, but why should the French retain hegemony over top quality pink?”

“Late in the harvest, we also discovered a small treasure trove of ultra-ripe Napa Valley Sangiovese more suitable to a late-harvest style than our classic dry style. We made only 3 barrels of this sweet, heady stuff and bottled it in half-bottles—perfect as an aperitif or dessert!”

All of their rosés are officially released as of April 1. And that's no joke!
