Merlot grapes

We were totally impressed with the wines from this winery! The listing below is only a sampling of what we chose as our favorites. There were just too many to list.

UPDATE: The property where the Chateau Souverain winery was located was purchased by The Coppola Companies in 2006 and the winery renamed. Chateau Souverain brand wines are now available at the Asti Winery.

Listed wines and/or vintages may no longer be available. Contact the winery for the most recent releases.

2000 Sauvignon Blanc, Alexander Valley
Apricots in the aroma with tropical fruits in the mouth. Great finish!

1999 Chardonnay, Russian River Valley Winemakers Reserve
Floral nose with wonderful tropical fruit flavors and a toasty butterscotch finish.

2000 Rosé
Strawberries and delicate floral tones in the aroma. A fruity, slightly sweet wine that we would enjoy sipping on the patio on a summer eve.

1999 Zinfandel
A nice ruby red color with chocolate-cherry flavors and a long spicy finish.

1998 Merlot
Spicy aroma, vibrant fruit flavors of plum and cherry.

1998 Zinfandel, Dry Creek Reserve
Fresh boysenberries and black cherries aromas explode in the mouth. A very fruit-driven, special wine.

1996 Cabernet Sauvignon
Lush ruby color with black current aroma and flavor. Great taste! Good aging potential. Rated a 90 by Robert Parker.

Other wines produced by this winery include Viognier and Syrah. Some wines available at winery only.
