Tony Coturri
Kaye Syrah Solstice Vineyard Rosé
I really don’t know all that much about this wine. Syrah grapes. From the Solstice Vineyard in Sonoma. Made by Tony Coturri, a natural winemaker from the days before “natural wine” was a buzzy, cool-kid wine word. Which means it’s unfined, unfiltered, nothing added, no color-stripping, etc. etc. etc. So all that good stuff is assumed. But what I do know for sure? It’s delicious. And very much in that category of “rose for people who don’t like rose.” Deeply colored – electric pink – with oomph and a bit of structure, layered and lushly textured. I had it at a tasting a few weeks back – one sip among many. I went back for more. I was told there were just two cases left. I took them. They’re here. So grab some!
