Emmolo Merlot 2022

Napa Valley Merlot of uncommon refinement — from a small-production label with serious pedigree.

Emmolo is a boutique Napa Valley label with deep roots in the valley — the Emmolo family has farmed here for generations, and their Merlot reflects that heritage. Crafted with French oak and a Bordeaux-inspired sensibility, this is a wine of genuine elegance that rewards those who look beyond the obvious Napa names.

Tasting Notes
Cocktail cherries and sweet spice on the nose, with notes of savoury bread, newly oiled leather, and pronounced French oak. Smooth upon entry, with a richness that builds — cherry, spice, lush plum, and a hint of jerky on the palate, with dusty, powdery tannins lending softness and texture.

The Finish
Long and oak-inflected, with French oak character carrying through the nose, palate, and a lingering, satisfying close.
