emmolo merlot (napa valley)

點擊次數(shù)：7016

Emmolo has been producing decent Merlots for years, and this ’09 is reflective of their style. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s not very exciting either, offering pleasant cherry and oak flavors that are a little sweet.——S.H.(3/1/2012)—— 85

A very nice Merlot that shows the variety’s softer, gentler side. It’s rich in melted pastry flavors of cherries, raspberries and milk chocolate, and finishes dry and spicy. Drink now with a grilled steak.——S.H.(11/1/2010)—— 87

Tastes too over-oaked for what you get. There are modest cherry-berry flavors, but the wine is dominated by smoky char, caramel and butterscotch. Ready now. ——S.H.(3/1/2010)—— 84

Rich, soft and chocolaty, this Merlot has fruity flavors of cherries, blackberries, mulberries and blackstrap molasses. It’s dry, and at its best now.——S.H.(2/1/2009)—— 86
