Description
Why we selected this wine:
Napa Valley is a celebration of diversity in winemaking style, variety, and site-specific terroir, such as this blended 100% estate grown Malbec from Trefethen’s vineyards in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. The name Empleon is Latin for "being full," as in the rich, full flavors found in the wine, yet reflective of Trefethen’s classic and elegant style from the Oak Knoll District. This wine was produced solely for Premiere Napa Valley.
