The 2022 Merus is a tribute to its long-standing reputation of superior quality and artistry. On the nose, aromas of cinnamon, cloves, tobacco, cherry, cocoa powder, and raspberry create intrigue. The palate offers a distinct mouthfeel offered by only the most exquisite Cabernets: bold, refined tannins with a smooth, velvety texture, and seemingly endless layers of complexity. This wine is suited for decadent meals such as grilled Wagyu steak, duck breast with plum sauce, or pappardelle with wild boar ragu. Decant this wine in its youth, or cell for 10-15 years.

Join a Wine Club and Experience the Best from Our Collection
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.
