Emmolo Merlot Napa Valley 2022 12 Bottle Case - Free Shipping

12 Bottle Case - Free Shipping

This wine is sourced from vineyards in Napa Valley, including land that has been in the family of Jenny Wagner’s maternal relatives (the Emmolos) for generations. We seek out areas with light gravelly soil and ideal growing conditions that enable longer “hang time” for the grapes to achieve full ripeness. We also utilize techniques like crop thinning to produce an elegant, distinctive Merlot. This wine has expansive, dark berry flavors, a fresh earthiness and smooth, leathery tannins.

Nose: Cocktail cherries and sweet spice, with notes of savory bread, newly
oiled leather and pronounced French oak.

Palate: Smooth upon entry, with a richness that builds. Flavors of cherry,
spice and savory bread carry over from the nose, with lush plums and a hint of
jerky. Dusty, powdery tannins lend softness. French oak character comes
through on the nose, palate and lingering finish.

ABV: 14.4%

Wine Score: 90
