Emmolo 2007 South 40 Ranch Syrah Rosé (Napa Valley)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Drier and crisper than most California rosés and as a result more elegant. With a pretty orange-rust color, it shows savory flavors of orange pekoe tea, tangerine zest and barely ripe raspberries and apricots, sprinkled with white pepper and vanilla. Sophisticated and compelling, this is one of the best rosés of the year.

Emmolo 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
A deliciously zesty Sauvignon Blanc. It doesn’t seem to have any oak, but you won’t miss it, because there are wonderful vanilla, honeysuckle and buttered toast notes that enrich the peach, pineapple, green apple, honeydew melon and mineral flavors. Great price for a wine so rich and complex.

Emmolo 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $18
It’s hard for a California Sauvignon Blanc to be distinguished, but this one is. It’s so dry and crisply tart, it makes your mouth water, which is the first duty of the variety. But it also displays a wealth of peppery citrus, fig, green apple and mineral flavors. The alcohol is refreshingly low.

Emmolo 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $16
A great value. It’s dry and crisp, just as Sauvignon Blanc should be, yet with a rich vein of honey. Shows savory citrus and tropical fruit, apricot, green grass, mineral, vanilla and white pepper flavors.

Emmolo 2008 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
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.

Emmolo 2006 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
Rich, soft and chocolaty, this Merlot has fruity flavors of cherries, blackberries, mulberries and blackstrap molasses. It’s dry, and at its best now.

Emmolo 2000 Rutherford Sauvignon Blanc (Napa Valley)
- $16
More oak than the wine can handle is what you get here, from the woody, buttery overtoasted nose through the soft, clumsy, creamy body. It’s a real challenge to find any fruit, so you had better like a fully wooded wine if you’re going to take a crack at this one.

Emmolo 2009 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $30
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.
