Question 8

Palazzo Cuvee Blanc (‘11 Napa, CA)

Answer 8

$115

90% Semillon
10% Sauvignon Blanc

Inspired by the great white wines of Bordeaux…

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!
