Eight Decades of Sonoma Cabernet
Few California labels have been doing this as long as Chateau Souverain: founded in Napa in 1944, it relocated to Alexander Valley in the early 1970s and has stayed focused on single-varietal wines ever since. The Cabernet is the flagship — deep ruby-purple, all roasted vanilla, mocha, and blackberry, with the baking-spice warmth of proper oak aging and a juicy, medium-tannin finish. Browse the cabernet sauvignon collection or the red wine collection at Del Mesa Liquor.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby-purple. Roasted vanilla, mocha, and baking spices over blackberry and ripe cherry; black plum, leather, red currant, and black tea follow. Medium tannins with a juicy, lingering finish.
How to Enjoy
Serve at 60–65°F. Pair with steak, lamb, hearty red meats, or flavorful cheeses.
