Sosie (French for 'look-alike') makes California wine in the image of the Rhône, the Loire, and Burgundy: Grenache Blanc and Marsanne whites, Pinot Noir, Syrah, picked early for acidity and restraint. The tasting room sits on Vine Alley, off the square. Built for the table.
25 E Napa St, Ste C
"Sosie" (French for look-alike or twin) captures the whole idea: California sun, French soul. Owners Scott MacFiggen and Regina Bustamante spent a dozen years tasting through the Loire, Rhône, and Burgundy before opening their room on Vine Alley, the European-style passage just off the south side of the Sonoma Plaza. They favor restraint over ripeness, finesse over flamboyance.
Winemaker Kieran Robinson, whose résumé runs from the Finger Lakes to Côte-Rôtie to Napa, crafts roughly 1,000 cases a year: Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Pinot Noir, Rhône-style whites of Grenache Blanc, Marsanne, and Roussanne, and a rosé of Syrah, all lower in alcohol with bright natural acidity and the lightest touch of oak. Food-friendly by design. Tastings by appointment, walk-ins welcome.
