WINERY NOTES
In the illustrious realm of Napa Valley, where each vine tells a story of generations past, the Emmolo 2021 Merlot emerges as a true testament to the family's winemaking legacy. Enveloped by the embrace of ancestral vineyards, this exquisite creation is a symphony of flavors orchestrated by Jenny Wagner, whose familial roots intertwine with the very soil from which this liquid poetry springs.
Sourced meticulously from vineyards that have cradled the Emmolo name for generations, this Merlot is a manifestation of tradition and innovation. Jenny, drawing upon the wisdom passed down through maternal ties, scours the Napa Valley for the choicest plots with light gravelly soil and optimal conditions. The result? Grapes that bask in the Californian sun, relishing an extended "hang time" to attain peak ripeness.
The winemaking artistry extends beyond mere cultivation – it's a dance with nature, a delicate balance. Crop thinning, a technique embraced with finesse, ensures that every cluster thrives, yielding a Merlot that embodies elegance and distinction. The Emmolo 2021 Merlot is not merely a wine; it's a testament to the symbiosis between earth and vine, where each sip resonates with the harmonious echoes of a storied lineage.

This is not just a wine; it's an immersion into a realm of opulence where every sip is a communion with the terroir. The fresh earthiness, a nod to the roots that anchor the Emmolo legacy, intertwines seamlessly with leathery tannins, creating a symphony of textures that caress the palate.
In the world of Merlot, the Emmolo 2021 stands tall as a beacon of quality and craftsmanship. It's not just a libation; it's an ode to the past, a celebration of the present, and an investment in the future of Napa Valley winemaking.

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. We seek out areas with light gravelly soil and ideal growing conditions that enable longer “hang time” for the grapes to achieve full ripeness. We also utilize techniques like crop thinning to produce an elegant, distinctive Merlot. This wine has expansive, dark berry flavors, a fresh earthiness and smooth, leathery tannins.
