Product details
Named after Jenny's maternal side of the family. The Emmolos came to Napa Valley from Italy in 1923, later running a rootstock nursery that supplied many of the area's growers. They have been farming as a livelihood 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 a fine 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.
