Souverain's strength lies in their bevy of Chardonnays and Cabernet Sauvignons. For example, the 1995 Chardonnay Sonoma County is a 100% barrel-fermented wine that may be found discounted for several dollars less than the listed price of $13. It exhibits a smoky, vanillin, tropical fruit-scented nose, medium to full-bodied, fleshy flavors, good richness, a soft texture, and a moderately long finish. It will provide delicious drinking over the next year. Kudos to Chateau Souverain for continuing to turn out very high quality wines at modest prices. Tel. (707) 433-8281; Fax (707) 433-5174
