The 2015 Emmolo Merlot was Sourced from the Oak Knoll District, where the cooler temperatures and gravelly light soil offer ideal growing conditions for Merlot. As this begins to open it releases deep aromatics reminiscent of blackberries and cassis woven together with black tea, Hoisin sauce, mocha and mint. The palate is plush and inviting, offering flavors crème de cassis, pipe tobacco and black cherry syrup. Chewy tannins and a long finish round out this exceedingly delicious Merlot from the Wagner's.
