2013 Merus Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley
By looking at its saturated purple-black color, you can tell immediately that the 2013 Merus is a powerhouse of a wine. The 2013 is a dark, meaty, fruit-saturated, syrupy mouthful, with swarming aromas of blackberry, crushed violet and beef fat. The mouth follows suit with a powerful entrance of dark fruit. Since it is bone-dry and was fermented at low temperatures, this is an absolute reflection of the strength of the vineyard, the beauty of whole berry fermentation, and the synergies that can occur between wine and wood. Typical to its Coombsville pedigree, it never feels heavy as it fills every corner of your mouth. The 100% new oak provides structure and a pleasing toastiness but doesn’t overwhelm. Decant for at least one hour in advance for maximum pleasure.

2011 Merus Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley (1.5L Magnum)
The deep red-purple color gives the hint of what follows in the nose and mouth. Aromas of black plums, black currants, sweet aromatic herbs, talcum powder, and tar combine to produce a bouquet that is so evocative of the Coombsville area in late fall. It enters the palate with a thick and sweet sensation, flows evenly to all corners of the mouth, and then tapers to a clean and polished finish. This is a classic beauty of a wine.

2015 Merus Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley (1.5L Magnum)
So delicious aromatically, so dense and insanely opaque with opulently deep violet hues matching impressively with dark blue and blackberries alongside fresh-turned earth and minerals, dark soils and tobacco leaf, fresh ground Turkish Coffee and dusty Cocoa ending with subtle notes of Vanilla and Cedar.
