Description
Our Premiere Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from a single vineyard site in the esteemed Coombsville nested appellation. The cooler climate appellation allows for a long, slow ripening period and more hang time on the vine which creates wines of intense concentration. Aged in 100 percent new French oak for 24 months, the 2018 Merus is a powerful yet elegant wine with velvety tannins and rich, multi-layered texture.
