2018 Merus Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley

The 2018 Merus is a dark and powerful wine. Aromas of cassis and blackberry fill the nose, with undertones of vanilla bean, cedar and graphite. A full body and plush velvety tannins fill the mouth with deep flavors of saturated black fruits. Hints of vanilla and a fine grain oak texture from the 100% new French oak aging linger on the finish. Decant for one hour for maximum enjoyment.

Size: 750 ml

Iconic Cabernet from the Heart of Napa Valley

The Art of Precision Winemaking

Merus began as a renegade garage wine, yet quickly earned international acclaim for its bold, meticulously crafted Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Merus continues that tradition of excellence with state-of-the-art winemaking techniques, obsessive attention to detail, and small-lot fermentations that extract unrivaled depth, texture, and elegance in every vintage.

Singular Wines, Limited Production

A Relentless Pursuit of Purity and Power

With strict vineyard standards, multiple selective harvests, and separate vinification of each micro-lot, Merus captures the perfect moment of ripeness in every cluster. Wines undergo whole-berry fermentation, precise temperature control, and custom barrel pairing to ensure each element contributes to a wine of exceptional concentration, structure, and refinement.

A Legacy Built on Vision and Passion

From Garage Wine to Iconic Estate

Born in a two-car garage in 1998, Merus was founded on the belief that passion and discipline matter more than grandeur. Now housed in a historic ghost winery, thoughtfully restored and equipped with 7,000 square feet of caves, Merus offers a by-reservation tasting experience as refined and distinctive as the wines themselves.
