Emmolo - Merlot - Napa Valley
Overview:Ā Named after Jenny's maternal side of the family. The Emmolos came to Napa Valley from Italy in 1923, later running a rootstock nursery that supplied many of the area's growers. They have been farming as a livelihood ever since.Ā
Sourced in Napa Valley. Techniques like crop thinning throughout the growing season allow for smaller yields resulting in a wine that's more intensely concentrated.

The result is a wonderfully rich, earthy, dark and well-balanced Merlot.

Points:Ā 85, Wine Enthusiast
Format / ABV:Ā 750 ml
