Emma Pearl Winemaker Nova Cadamatre has crafted lush, sumptuous expressions of classic Chardonnay and Merlot characteristics. The wines' premium fruit is specially selected to highlight the best attributes of the varietal and its Central Coast origin – Chardonnay from Santa Barbara County and Merlot from Paso Robles.

Emma Pearl Chardonnay shows aromas of poached pears and caramel complemented by a rich, creamy mouth with notes of Meyer lemons and toasted cinnamon. The Emma Pearl Merlot offers a nose of fresh cherry and raspberry followed by a velvety mouth that reveals exotic spice and pomegranate.
