Emmolo - Merlot - Napa Valley

About This Item

Overview: Named after Jenny's maternal side of the family. The Emmoloscame to Napa Valley from Italy in 1923, later running a rootstock nurserythat supplied many of the area's growers. They have been farming as alivelihood ever since. 

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.

Tasting Notes: Scents: Pomace, sweet toasted oak, blackberries and ripe plums. Flavors: Dark chocolate, cocktail cherries, and tannins that impart afine texture. Style differentiator: Longer "hang time”pushes grapes to full ripeness.The result is a wonderfully rich, earthy, dark and well-balanced Merlot.

Pairing: Mushroom risotto, grilled sausage, pork chops, ratatouille and eggplant parmesan.
