Emmolo Merlot California Red Wine

Product Information

Product Details



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.

• SCENTS: Cocktail cherries and sweet spice, with notes of savory bread, newly oiled leather and pronounced French oak
• FLAVORS: Smooth upon entry, with a richness that builds; Flavors of cherry, spice and savory bread carry over from the nose
• INSPIRATION: Named after Jenny's maternal side of the family; The Emmolos came to Napa Valley from Italy in 1923
• VINEYARDS: Sourced in Napa Valley
• STYLE DIFFERENTIATOR: Longer "hang time" pushes grapes to full ripeness; The result is a wonderfully rich, earthy, dark and well-balanced Merlot
• FARMING NOTES: Techniques like crop thinning throughout the growing season allow for smaller yields resulting in a wine that's more concentrated
