Here are three new releases from Souverain — all Alexander Valley, all priced from $15-$20, and all delish!

Souverain 2008 Sauvignon Blanc Alexander Valley ($15). Bright and citrusy, with tangerine and grapefruit mingling with softer melon and pear notes, winding up in a long, lightly spicy and slightly creamy finish. Ready to drink now. Locate this wine online or in your area. (2010-03-20)

Souverain 2008 Chardonnay Alexander Valley ($17). Lots of racy, mouthwatering, juicy fruit here — green pear, white peach, lemon curd — with touches of cream and toast through the finish. Very nice for the price! Ready to drink now and over the next 2-3 years. Locate this wine online or in your area.

Souverain 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley ($20). Herbal and black currant aromas and flavors offer nice concentration and length, picking up cocoa and baking spices through the finish. Ready to drink now and over the next couple of years. Locate this wine online or in your area. (2009-12-16)
