Emmolo Merlot

This wine is sourced from vineyards in Napa Valley, including land that has been in the family of Jenny Wagner’s maternal relatives (the Emmolos) for generations. The winemakers sought out areas with light gravelly soil and ideal growing conditions that enable longer “hang time” for the grapes to achieve full ripeness. Techniques like crop thinning were utilized to produce an elegant, distinctive Merlot. This wine has expansive, dark berry flavors, a fresh earthiness and smooth, leathery tannins. More specifically on the fruit, grapes for this wine were sourced from Napa Valley's Oak Knoll district.
