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
