Cuvée Blanc Reserve
Napa Valley
RESERVE ~ $65 bottle
Hi from the Napa Valley! I want to give a big thank you to everyone of you, for your
continued excitement and support for our wines! We are truly fortunate and thankful
that so many people have appreciated and enjoyed the ‘style’ of our wines and what
we’re creating here in the Napa Valley!
I'm very excited to be releasing our new PALAZZO 2016 Cuvée Blanc RESERVE! Who
would have thought a white wine from the Napa Valley … that’s ‘not a Chardonnay’…
could get the accolades and attention that my PALAZZO Cuvée Blanc has received
from Top Sommeliers & Chefs across the country!
People everywhere have fallen in love with this wine! And what’s not to like! Beautiful
floral aromatics of white peach, pear & tropical fruit! Amazing richness & opulence
on the palate…with rich, complex structure & ‘old-world’ minerality…reminiscent of
the great Bordeaux Blancs from the Graves and Entre-Deux-Mers regions in France!
The new vintage of my PALAZZO 2016 Cuvée Blanc RESERVE is once again made
predominately from the wonderfully exotic and aromatic Semillon grape, with just
a touch of Sauvignon Blanc blended in for finesse & structure. The nose is floral and
seductive with intense tropical aromas of guava & passion fruit, along with hints of
white peach & pear. On the palate the wine is rich and opulent, with a broad oily
texture & weight that gives way to bright, zesty acidity, giving the wine its beautifully
balanced mouth-feel! The finish is rich and weighty, complex and wonderfully long,
... especially for a white wine! A ‘Superior Food Wine’ to be enjoyed!
It will close down the wine and crush ALL of the beautiful floral aromatics and the
richness & weight of the mouthfeel. No colder than cellar temp! Just treat it like a
great bottle of Red Wine. The French Laundry ‘decants’ my Cuvée Blanc tableside,
allowing the wine to ‘open up’ and show all it’s complexity! Try decanting it at home…
You’ll be AMAZED!!! (-:
Our goal at PALAZZO WINE is ... and always will be ... to produce beautiful wines of
outstanding quality, with distinction and class! Wines that are both ‘powerful and
elegant’ ... and pair well with a broad range of foods!
“The Palazzo 2016 Cuvée Blanc Reserve, made of 98% Sémillon & 2% Sauvignon
Blanc, features beautiful lemon curd, lime blossoms & mandarin peel notes with
touches of paraffin wax, coriander seed and acacia honey. Medium-bodied, elegant
and stacked with fragrant citrus flavors ... it has a lively backbone and long,
satin-textured finish.”
The Palazzo 2016 Cuvée Blanc Reserve is a 2021 Gold Medal Winner!
