Hi from Napa Valley! Well, I'm sure you've heard... we've certainly had our
‘hands full’ here in the Valley this past 4 to 6 weeks! A series of unprecedented wild-
fires, heat spikes, smoke damage, all during the midst of the 2020 Harvest... and the
Covid Virus Pandemic. Take about the testing of one's will, perseverance, hope and
courage! It seems at this point we've made it through to the other side of the fires,
and the destruction and loss that came with them. Napa is resilient and visionary...
and we will regroup and rebuild for a new and better day! Thank you for supporting
the Valley... through buying Napa Valley Wine!
I can't think of a better way to move forward, and put these past several weeks
behind us, than by releasing my new vintage of my Flagship Wine – PALAZZO 2016
'Right Bank' RESERVE Proprietary Red Wine!
For those of you who don’t know, it all started here. With this wine! Before there was a
PALAZZO Cabernet Franc made for the French Laundry, or a PALAZZO Cuvée Blanc
made from crazy 70+ year old Semillon vines ... there was the 1st vintage of my
PALAZZO 2003 ‘Right Bank’ Proprietary Red Wine! And it was this wine that caught
the attention of the Top Sommeliers & Chefs across the country! I can't be more
proud and honored that my wines are offered and enjoyed in the top restaurans
throughout America!
The PALAZZO 2016 'Right Bank' RESERVE Proprietary Red Wine continues in the
the ‘style & legacy’ of the previous 12 vintages that have come before it! The wine has ex-
ceptional character and beauty! Florar and intriguing on the nose... complex & rich
with delicious layers of red cherry & blackberry fruit on the palate... and balanced
throughout with good acidity, minerality & structure! In essence... A Great Food Wine!
–À Votre Santé!Scott Palazzo
"Palazzo's 2016 Right Bank Reserve comes sashying out of the glass with the
most gorgeous perfume of potpourri! Medium to full-bodied, vibrantly perfumed
and possessing a wonderfully plush texture, it has bags of poise and purity coming
through on the finish."
Lisa Perroti-Brown
"Platinum Award Winner – Wines that pay homage to their stylistic heritage
through labelling don't often hit the mark as squarely as this Merlot driven blend.
You might mistake this for a cousin of Cheval Blanc in a blind tasting, though it's
certainly more approachable in its youth. I love it right now for rounded Merlot fruit,
soft spice, focused acidity and a long seamelessly integrated finish, and I love it even
more for being a relative bargain
