SoloRosa 2005 Sangiovese Rose

A Note About Rosé:
What wine goes well with warm weather and just about every food imaginable? Dry rosé, of course. They figured this out in Southern France eons ago, and Americans - not ones to be left in the dust - have more recently come to the same conclusion. That's why Californian winemakers Jeff Morgan and Daniel Moore decided to make SoloRosa - “only rosé.”

This last vintage, in an effort to further our quest for pink perfection, we made FOUR different rosés!. We identified 10 unusually distinctive and aromatic barrels of Sangiovese from the Atlas Peak Vineyard in Napa Valley that we just couldn't bring ourselves to blend into SoloRosa normale. So we bottled this tiny batch of wine as yet another reserve rosé.

Winemaker Tasting:
A smooth, supple style of rosé that shows more velvety texture than brightness on the palate. It's blessed with a raspberry/citrus core that finishes fresh and lively.

Food Pairing Notes:
SoloRosa rosé also has the kind of class that allows to fit easily into a far more refined setting, pairing well with seafood, spice, fine sauces, poultry, game, and other red meats as well. Dare we say that it goes well with just about anything? In a word, yes!
