Emmolo Winery
Napa Valley Merlot
Napa Valley, California, USA
Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe dark fruits, sweet herb spice and espresso notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum and black cherry with toasty oak, cacao and espresso. Fine soft tannins, long finish ending with fruit, oak and sweet pepper spice. Still has room to age, but nice now!

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

Aged this one for 4 years and it’s paid off. Deep black cherry and an almost mint flavour with tremendous depth.
We’re saving some for tomorrow to see how extra air exposure impacts it.
Update: The day of air was worthwhile leading to a silkier mouthfeel.

My favorite Merlot. Turned out way better than the roast chicken
