rollat's sophie occupies the entry-level rung on the ladder, behind the elegant and polished rollat and the dense, compact and highly cellar-worthy edouard. but sophie is charming and accessible, a blend of 50% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc that is elegant and bright. the fruit focus is on cranberry and raspberry, tart and well-defined, and the wine is immaculately clean. it's light and charming, but a perfect choice for autumnal foods.
