Chateau Souverain 2007 Chardonnay Alexander Valley
Picked up a couple of bottles of this WS 90 pointer for $10 at Costco in San Luis Obispo.
I'm normally skeptical of James Laube's high chardonnay scores as he likes a very ripe chardonnay with a smoky touch, which often has a sour acidity (like honey does) I don't care for.
But this is a lovely wine with ripe sweetness and striking citrus and apple in a flavorful, yet medium-thin body. Noticable oak with a touch of vanilla. A bit of acidity. Delicious. My score: 91-92.
