The 2017 Palazzo 'Left Bank Cuvee' Red is a stellar blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 25% Merlot! Scott Palazzo is a pretty eccentric guy and this is his homage to the Left Bank wines for Bordeaux that are Cabernet heavy and it is fabulous! This wine is gorgeously layered and wonderfully complex with all of the muscular black plum, and dark blueberry and black cherry compote that any Napa fan could want! This wine is now 6 years old and it is drinking AMAZINGLY GREAT! Waves of savory baking spice and cigar box aromas have started to unfurl and the ripe and muscular tannins have rounded out perfectly into a silky-smooth and velvety satin mouthfeel that is supported with a lively core of red berry and currants over toasted vanilla...this is a seriously delicious red and it is in its prime for sure!
The only 2017 presented, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Left Bank Master Blend is 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc. It has plenty of blue fruits as well as notes of new leather, graphite, licorice, and hints of chocolate. These carry to a medium to full-bodied wine that has the vintage's straight, focused style, good tannins, and rock-solid overall balance and purity. It's an outstanding 2017 that will benefit from a year or two of bottle age.
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Left Bank Master Blend is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc. Deep garnet-purple colored, it features slightly closed, broody baked plums, fruitcake and crème de cassis with dusty earth, tobacco and dried sage plus a hint of iron ore. It is medium-bodied, firm and chewy with a taut mid-palate and savory finish.
