Souverain Winemaker's Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Alexander Valley, Sonoma County
California, Usa$41.95
drink now 2019...have seen as late as 2020/21 but don't chance it.
March 2020....Sunday dinner with the kids....BBQ steak....this wine was special, high class, fine boned and flavourful, would probably have been better with roast beef because of its refinement but was absolutely lovely on this evening. Crystal enjoyed as well. A good buy and keep.

Piedmont, Italy$49.95
fall of 2017
February, 2020.....with Osso Bucco. Felt it was past its best, fresher would have been better....however, after half hour aeration wine smelt and tasted better and went quite well with the meal. Would buy again but drink sooner.
