Emmolo Merlot, 2022

Nose & Taste Notes

The 2022 Emmolo Merlot boasts a dark, rugged red color and has a rich aroma of blueberries, coffee beans, leather, and a touch of pomace. Distinguished by notes of violet, anise, and wildflowers, this wine has a smooth, silky entry on the palate followed by flavors of dark berry crumble and shaved chocolate. The tannins are initially soft, maintaining their delicate texture even as they become more prominent. This wine truly envelops and coats the mouth, culminating in a remarkably long finish with hints of coffee beans and dark cocoa. With a lush and supple texture, this wine offers expansive, dark berry flavors with a touch of earthiness and velvety, leathery tannins.
