Souverain's strength lies in their bevy of Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons. The Cabernet Sauvignon offerings merit attention from readers looking for "best buys" in high class Cabernet. The 1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley tastes similar to a Cabernet costing $20-$30. This beauty offers a deep ruby/purple color, a spicy, blackcurrant, tobacco, cedar, and toasty-scented nose, lush, low acid, ripe flavors, the silkiness that is a hallmark of the 1994 vintage, and a clean, ripe finish. It should drink well for 5-7 years, perhaps longer. Kudos to Chateau Souverain for continuing to turn out very high quality wines at modest prices.
