The 1992 Zinfandel exhibits aromas of toasty new oak in its black-cherry and herb-scented nose. Soft, with medium body and low acidity, this fleshy, flattering wine should be drunk over the next 2-3 years. Chateau Souverain is clearly on a hot streak with excellent wines across the board, possessing the two rare virtues of (1) high quality and (2) modest prices.

Smooth and smoky, with a spicy core of raspberry and black cherry. Intense and lively. Delicious now. 11,000 cases made.??–JL??Region: California / Sonoma / Dry Creek Valley Select to Add
