PALAZZO 2009 'Right Bank' Proprietary Red Blend
98
Points!! Robert Parker –
Wine Advocate
Blend of 68% Merlot, 24% Cabernet
Franc, and 8% Cabernet Sauvignon
"The 2009 Right Bank is a rock star, an amazingly great effort and, for
my taste, probably the finest – along with the 2012 and possibly the
2013 – Right Bank Proprietary Red Wine that Scott Palazzo has made to
date. A blend of 68% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Cabernet
Sauvignon, this wine still followed the trend of 14 months barrel aging
in 40% new French oak. Truly great stuff, with a stunningly intense nose
of crème de cassis, caramel, high quality espresso and possibly the
dark chocolate from the Rhône Valley known as Valrhona, this wine is
layered, full-bodied, opulent and stunningly rich, and consequently
flirting with perfection. What’s amazing is that Scott Palazzo told me
the harvest for the 2009 was one of the latest ever, extending into the
first week of November. The result is a killer effort, although still an
adolescent in terms of its evolution, with a good 15 or more years of
life ahead of it." RP
