Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This classic Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon others intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry, chocolate, cedar and baking spices. On the palate, flavors of chocolate, cloves, ginger, cigar box and lavender are perfectly balanced by velvet textured tannins, which lead to a long elegant finish. this wine will shine on its own or paired with juicy prime steaks or Black forest cake. this Cabernet Sauvignon is a wonderful introduction to Alexander Valley.

Professional Ratings

  • 89
    The red wines from winemaker Ed Killian, who has done a credible job for many years at Souverain, start with an excellent value, the 38,000-case 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley. One hundred percent Cabernet Sauvignon, this is an unqualified sleeper of the vintage. Sweet black currant notes intermixed with cedar wood, licorice, and underbrush are all present in this medium to full-bodied, opulent, round, generously endowed wine. Drink it over the next decade or more. This is one for Cabernet enthusiasts to stock up on.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Sonoma County, California

Nearly a northern extension of Napa Valley, Alexander Valley starts just north of the small, Knights Valley, and is just a few minutes drive from the Napa town of Calistoga. It is Sonoma County’s hottest AVA. But the Russian River, which runs through the valley, creates cooler pockets and its soft, alluvial soil is ideal for grape growing, especially Cabernet Sauvignon. In fact, some believe that Alexander Valley Cabernets truly rival the best from Napa Valley and many of the heavy-hitter producers have largely invested here.

In addition to Cabernet Sauvignon, which makes up over 50% of plantings, Merlot and old vine Zinfandel thrive here. Ample, fleshy Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate white wine production. Some old-vine plantings of Grenache have also been discovered and more recent experiments with Sangiovese and Barbera show great promise.
