Merus Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2021

Merus is handmade in every sense of the word by winemaker Michael Beaulac. This vintage was primarily composed of Cabernet Sauvignon grown in the Rutherford Viticultural Appellation in Napa Valley. The individual vineyards selected for Merus are owned by a handful of serious growers who possess extraordinary terroirs and a willingness to implement our strict farming and harvesting protocols. Severe pruning for limited yield, deficit irrigation for greater flavor intensity, and hand-picked for cluster sorting. At the winery, the grapes are received and small-lot fermented. A rigorous selection at assemblage creates a wine that is dense, concentrated, and nuanced.
