Wine Advocate "Most serious wine consumers realize Souverain is a good source for value-priced, fruit forward, interesting reds and whites offering plenty of appeal." - Robert M. Parker, Jr. 2/2005
Deep ruby in color, this concentrated Alexander Valley Merlot offers classic aromas of ripe black plum, blueberry and currant. The core of vibrant fruit balances nicely with the soft, round tannins creating a lush and juicy mouthfeel. Notes of cinnamon and nutmeg, which come from aging in oak barrels, meld nicely with the rich fruit and lead to a long, velvety finish.
