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! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

So plush, rounded and consistent. Wood treatment presents a lot of vanillin, which relaxes over time. Overall, nicely presented. Will certainly purchase more.
