This offers a fun blast of blueberry and açaí berry fruit, backed by violet and cocoa notes, ending with a graphite edge that should soften with brief cellaring. Reveals a lingering violet accent.

James Suckling
I like the blueberry and cedar aromas with hints of violets. It’s medium-to full-bodied with very fine tannins that are firm and polished. Flavorful finish. Nicely crafted. Drink or hold.

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.
