Emmy is 70% Mourvedre and 30% Syrah blend. The fruit expression is pure and powerful, an intense burst of raspberry and cranberry, anchored in mineral and chalk. Only neutral oak was used, so the fruit is framed beautifully by the acids and tannins, and it is so pure and resonant that it is hard to believe that this wine won’t age beautifully for a decade or more. ——P.G.(5/1/2011)—— 92
