2008 Palazzo Cabernet Franc

The new vintage of PALAZZO 2008 Cabernet Franc is yet another beautiful example of just how spectacular Cab Franc can be from our Valley! The nose is filled with ‘delicate floral tones’ of crushed violets & cassis, red cherries, raspberries & black currants ... with just a hint of coco powder laced throughout. On the palate the wine shows a complexity, structure & acidity rarely seen in Napa Valley Cab Franc’s. The wine literally ‘dances with brightness & purity’... revealing stunning sweet fruit of crushed cherries & red raspberries, with a touch of spiciness & earth / minerality.  The mouth feel is rich & plush, with supple sweet tannins & a velvety texture...with an elegant and seductive finish!  Winery Notes
