"Meyer lemon, more exotic lemongrass, tropical blossoms, savory herbs, and great minerality come together in the first whiff of this white Rhône from Sosie. A long, textured, and mouth-filling palate stars stone fruit—peach and apricot—spiked with orange zest."

92 points. Distinctive, with a swirl of caramel to the poached pear, peach cobbler and apricot flavors. Despite the richness, this white finishes crisp and vibrant, offering long, lingering notes of spice and toast. Well-balanced. Drink now. 230 cases made. — MW

Snippet from April 30, 2020 article in Wine Spectator: One of the top-scorers this year was from a new brand, Sosie, founded in 2017 by husband-and-wife team Scott MacFiggen and Regina Bustamante. Their distinctive Sosie Roussanne Bennett Valley Vivio Vineyard 2017 (92, $38), made with wild yeast and whole-cluster fermentation, is rich yet vibrant.

90 points. From a small producer, this wine shows an undeniable earthiness, pronounced acidity and a plush texture. Notes of black cherry, strawberry and stemmy forest floor meld on the palate, which offers pronounced power and weight.

This tiny production wine comes from the Spring Hill Vineyard, which sits in the Petaluma Gap on a ranch that is home to Wagyu and Scottish Highland cattle. Luckily the cows aren’t much interested in the tiny berries of Pinot Noir that deliver this impressively fresh wine, packed with super dark berry aromas, brown spices, clove, and delivers juicy orange peel notes, along with creamy and fleshy fruit supported by powerful tannins that will soften with a few years of bottle age.

"...This 2016 Spring Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir by Sosie Wines is a beautifully complex and gorgeously balanced Sonoma Coast Pinot."

90 points. Cofermented with 7% Roussanne, this big, bold red opens with aromas of lavender and sage. These tones extend to the palate where a black currant core is propped up by burly tannins.

20 Stellar Wines Under $100.  A decided deal, this Sosie Syrah has much to like—juicy blue and black berries with whiffs of violets interplay with savory notes of minerals, black olive, leather, and a hint of bacon fat (that’s a good thing). Substantial tannins suggest that a little decanter time is in order.

93 points. The 2015 Cabernet Franc Stagecoach Vineyard Block 5 is a very pretty wine with terrific aromatic lift and plenty of nuance, all in an appealing midweight style. Wines from Stagecoach are often bruisers, but this Cabernet Franc is remarkably polished. Bright saline underpinnings give the wine sneaky energy and persistence. There is plenty to like here.
~ VINOUS

91 points. This wine shines in dried herb, pencil shavings and sage, the earthiness undeniably present. Juicy and broadly expressive in thick, elongated tannins and prominent oak, the fruit is both dried and baked, a mix of black cherry and plum. This will do well with more time in bottle. Enjoy 2021–2025.

9 Great Bottles of Cabernet Franc to Drink Right Now. Majestic, with classic notes of eucalyptus and blackberry joined by chocolate and green peppercorn. On the palate, this is a silky wonder, concentrated and vibrating with life, the sappy tannins carrying flavors of cherries, currants, cedar, graphite, and a finish marked by violets, green peppercorns, chocolate, and eucalyptus.

... the Sosie Cabernet Franc was such a superb expression of this variety with fruit and spice and just the right amount of grip, and it kept getting better as time passed.

90 points. This wine is from a single site, planted in volcanic soils at 750-feet in elevation. Aged in neutral oak, it is floral and earthy, with a rocky mineral edge joined by apricot and ginger flavors within the silky texture.

90 Points. Bold yellow color. Aromas pop with super tropical combos of pineapple, lychee, honey butter, almond, tropical flowers. Medium-bodied (only 12.9% alcohol) with moderating acidity, which really helps, and there’s a creamy, waxy texture. Flavors of yellow apples and pineapple, laced with floral potpourri, salted nuts, white tea, there’s some underlying mineral tones. Bold and tropical in flavors yet it’s nuanced and light on its feel – a nice combo to find in California Roussanne. Native yeasts, barrel fermented, all maloactic fermentation.

Score: 8.5-9 Pale gold in color, this wine smells of quince and pears poached in cream. In the mouth, silky flavors of unripe pear and golden apple mix with a hint of yellow flowers. There's a nice underlying wet chalkboard minerality, though the acidity is delicate and softer than I would like. Finishes clean with hints of chamomile. 12.9% alcohol. 100 cases produced.

Broad shouldered and substantial on the palate, this small production is fruity in style, a mix of ripe cherry and strawberry, with a richness of vanilla. The acidity is balanced and lively. VIRGINIE BOONE

"...This 2016 Roberts Road Vineyard Pinot Noir by Sosie Wines is a wonderfully balanced and thoroughly impressive red from the Sonoma Coast."

90 points. Bright cherry colored. Nose shows fresh red cherries and pomegranate with lots of spiced tea, bay leaf, pepper, paprika, rose petals – this has a really spicy, savory nose that I love. Medium-bodied and really fresh with dusty tannins and bright acidity on a frame of about 13% alcohol. Red cherries, raspberries and pomegranate fruit blend well with notes of spiced tea, pepper, bay leaf, subtle coffee and cedar notes. Complex and could develop in the cellar but it’s already harmonious. Aged 16 months in 25% new French oak.
