The wine tonight is the 2018 Emmolo Napa Valley Merlot, Fairfield, CA.

On the nose there is black cherry, blackberry, black plum, clove, licorice, cocoa, vanilla, smoke and dark rich earth.

On the palate is black cherry, blackberry, all spice, chocolate, black pepper, violets, charred oak, creamy vanilla, graphite and earth.

The wine is full bodied, rich velvety almost jammy mouthfeel with medium + acidity and medium smooth fine tannin which moves into a long dark fruit smokey cedar finish. Moving into this weekend ahead please have a great weekend and as always stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 3 years ago

Favorite bottle of the night at liana's in fairfield--full of sour cherry, prunes, dried Tuscan underbrush, and roasted coffee, with a finessed and balanced palate. A wine to seek out if you can find it. — 10 years ago

Ok, so this is a wine made by a winery that is allegedly run by a religious cult (the Fellowship of Friends) who has their own AVA (North Yuba) and it has been made specifically for Marriott's low-end Fairfield Inn chain. I would love to know the story of how that business relationship came about. In any event, the Fairfield guests got to drink well with this one. Renaissance is known for somehow making ageable Bordeaux-like Cabs and this wine is no exception. Drinking remarkably young, with a nice blend of red fruit, earth and mineral aromas. Just a touch of green pepper. 13% alc. This is actually one of the better Cabs I have had recently and it should drink well for a decade. — 9 years ago

Only took about 5 minutes to open up nicely and then was very enjoyable. Had at an amazing Italian restaurant named Lianna's in Fairfield CT. Paid $65 - extremely reasonable for the value. This will be my "go-to" when eating at our new favorite Italian place in town. — 8 years ago
