Layers and layers of tropical fruits. Like a pina colada married a honeydew melon in Hawaii! Love the complexity and light lemony acidity. A delightful white.

Banana! Serve slightly chilled, don’t let the chill overpower and kill the delicate oiliness, minerality and young peach fruit in this dry, balanced untouched white. Drank with the winemaker Scott.

@David L omg how can a white be big bold beautiful yet delicate and not the Taylor Swift type but the ripples created when skipping a rock off the lake surface type

Man I don’t like it I ❤️ it - complex structured evolving and beyond satisfying- purchased on a recommendation from a friend (thank you Taylor wine and bait shop - yeah bait shop so you can fish and drink your 100 acres at one stop)

I am a believer whites can satisfy my cravings - my palette is evolving - scared to death as I trying to evolve into a skinny man and my wine fetish is not helping - at least my blood pressure is staying low as I have less stress 😂😂

The PALAZZO 2011 Cuveé Blanc is a 'beautiful & elegantly crafted' food wine ... made predominately from the wonderfully exotic & aromatic Semillon grape, with just a touch of Sauvignon Blanc blended in for 'finesse & structure'. The nose is once more wonderfully 'floral & seductive' with intense aromas of pear & orange blossoms, rose petals, and hints of spearmint, beeswax & white truffle laced throughout. On the palate there is a rich, broad oily texture & weight, along with bright, zesty acidity, giving the wine a 'beautifully balance mouth-feel'! Delicious white peach, nectarine & apricot fruit flavors fill your mouth, with notes of Meyer lemon zest & a slight, pleasant bitterness of walnut skin adding complexity. The finish is 'lush & weighty' and wonderfully long - especially for a white wine! A 'superior food wine' to be enjoyed!

Better with every sip. Soft, persistent mineral, citrus and herbs. Enough acid to make it dance.

Tropical, oaky style. Not my style. Lacks depth

One of my favorite whites in Napa. French in style with no oaky butter crap, just clean and crisp and amazing with Stone Crabs.
