Souverain Merlot is a North Coast California Merlot. Chateau Souverain draws Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah grapes from vineyards across Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties. Each vineyard set is fermented separately, and after fermentation the wine ages for one year in French oak barrels. Black cherry and ripe plum dominate the opening, followed by fresh blueberry, brown baking spice and a whisper of dark chocolate, with dried rose petals and sweet cigar tobacco with air. The entry is soft and round, leading with plush black-cherry fruit that broadens into boysenberry, black currant confiture and molasses. The finish is medium-length and polished, with silky tannins carrying coffee bean and dried tobacco leaf.
