Château Souverain 1998 Winemaker’s Reserve Chardonnay (California)

Country: US / California
Variety: Chardonnay
Winery: Château Souverain / Winemaker’s Reserve

After you’ve had oceans of Chardonnay and don’t think there’s room for a drop more, along comes a wine like this to change your mind. It’s not just the peach, pear and tropical fruit, or the honeyed, vanilla-scented buttered toast, or the oriental spices, or the clean acidity, or the rich, creamy texture. It’s all of these together, in a balanced package.
