Palazzo "Sandy Beach" Rose of Cabernet Franc 2021
(Napa Valley, California)

From the Winery:
When I was a young man traveling/backpacking my way through Europe in the late 70’s, my adventures led me to the alluring coastline of Provence, France! I spent an amazing ‘life-changing’ 3 months/summer, living on the beach in the little seaport village of La Ciotat, located in the heart of the beautiful Côte d’Azur...and the land of Provence rosé!

Lavender fields, olive trees, Cézanne, the powerful Mistral Winds...and of course wine…specifically Provence Rosé! Everyday, starting at lunchtime and continuing into the warm summer evenings, on terraces & beaches, at picnics, and just about every restaurant table in town ... there would be a ‘bottle or two’ of the pretty pink necter – Provence Rosé! Hence the term ‘Rosé All Day’ was born!!!

Tasting Notes:

This is made in the traditional-style of the amazing rosés that I first enjoyed that summer living on the beaches in Provence! Bursting with delicious fresh fruit favors of raspberry, watermelon and early Spring strawberries! Crisp and light on the palate, with beautiful floral aromas of cassis, white roses & lavender. What’s not to like! Fabulous for sipping with friends on the patio, and/or pairing with lighter foods.

In fact, according to Winemaker Scott Palazzo, "Bottom line, wine should complement food. That’s a European concept, and I believe in it wholeheartedly.” It all begins in the vineyard for Palazzo, and he is hands-on with the decisions made there. The fruit is grown to his specifications and intense attention to detail. 

Carneros fruit starts the ball rolling, but Winemaker Scott Palazzo turns that fruit into nuanced, beautiful wine. These are wines made with power and elegance—not too much oak, not too ripe, floral and feminine, and balanced for pairing with delicious foods.

Restauranteurs agree, and hundreds have jumped at the chance to carry Palazzo wine in their restaurants. In the United States, almost 500 restaurants carry Palazzo Wine.
