Palazzo
Cuvée Blanc Sémillon Sauvignon Blanc
Napa Valley, California, USA
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.

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

Suprisingly tight and concealed. Very youthful for the vintage. Revisit this in 2018

Delicious, predominately Semillion and a touch of Sauvignon Blanc - a hint of saline, great acidity and well rounded finish.
