| 2005 Chateau Souverain Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 87 Alcohol by volume: 14.1% Price at time of purchase: $15.99 (Costco) Type: Cabernet / Bordeaux Principal varietal(s): 98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc A year-in, year-out deal in California Cabernets, where very few bargains are to be found. Nice varietal nose, though still a bit tight, especially when first opened. Nice dark currant and violet aromas and flavors, good purity and balance. Slightly harsh finish will almost certainly soften with another year or two of age. - HK 2008-09-01 [Back] |
