A unique parcel within Rippon, Emmas Block faces eastward on the lakefrontwhere ancient clay reefs run laterally through fine schist gravels.Emmas Block is named after the great-great-great grandmother of the current generation of the Mills family, through whom the name entered into the family. *This shows a very spicy and attractively complex style on the nose with a wealth of dark stones and violets, as well as dark cherries. The palate has a succulent,vibrant and almost crisp feel to the tannins. Theres attractive firmness, butplenty of flesh below. From biodynamically grown grapes.
