2008 PALAZZO PROPRIETARY RED Winery Notes: "As always, in this new vintage of PALAZZO 2008 Napa Valley Proprietary Red, Merlot makes up the lion's share of the blend ... giving the wine its sheer power & strength, silky texture, and beautiful layers of dark cherry & blackberry fruit. The Cabernet Franc adds brightness, acidity and 'floral overtones' to the wine ... with the Cabernet Sauvignon adding structure and character to the wine ... with hints of smoke, cocoa and espresso bean to the finish.
