Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
In keeping with the style of previous vintages, the 2010 Merus is beautifully balanced and extremely complex. The cooler weather conditions throughout the growing season yielded a wine that is elegant, structured, high-toned and complete. Aromas of violet, cedar, granite and red fruit abound.
Blend: 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, 4% Petit Verdot

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Winemaker Camille Benitah and consulting winemaker Paul Hobbs have done a fabulous job with the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich, deep and sumptuous, the 2010 is incredibly inviting. Sweet dark cherries, mocha, flowers and espresso meld together as the 2010 opens up in the glass. A soft, plush finish rounds things out in style. The Merus Cabernet Sauvignon is overt, juicy and beautifully balanced from start to finish. One of the virtues of the 2010 is that it should drink fabulously pretty much upon release. The blend is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot and 4% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.

Wine Spectator
Focused on a trim, firm, rich mix of dark berry, black licorice, dusty, loamy earth and fresh-cut herbs, this finishes with a tapered aftertaste and cedary tannins. Best from 2014 through 2024.

Merus is a small, ultra luxury wine brand in the Napa Valley that creates highly-coveted wine in small quantities. Hand-made, using the finest techniques and processes, this wine has been rated as one of the country's top Cabernet Sauvignons.
Merus was started in 1998 with the mission of producing handcrafted wine of uncompromising quality and distinction. Their objective is to produce small amounts of age-worthy Cabernet Sauvignon from St. Helena, Stags Leap, and Coombsville vineyards. Merus views winemaking in a conservationist light, whereby optimizing vineyard quality is the single most important factor in achieving superlative wine quality. Therefore, they have established long-term relationships with only those winegrowers willing to work within the parameters of their rigorous vineyard demands. Merus is a labor of love that truly expresses the definition of great wine in the bottle.
