Wine maker notes Merus is handmade in every sense of the word. It is composed primarily of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Coombsville Viticultural Appellation in the Southeastern corner of the 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, cluster sorting, small-lot fermentations and careful lot selection combine to create a wine that is dense, concentrated and nuanced. V I N E Y A R D S The bulk of Merus comes from a single well-chosen Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard site in the Coombsville A. V. A of the Napa Valley. This is one of the coolest sites in the Napa Valley which allows the vines to remain viable and active into November. What it also has going for it under challenging conditions is very well-draining soil (volcanic strewn with river cobble), early morning sunshine due to the gentle eastern aspect, and daily afternoon breezes.
Producer Napa, CA. Merus features individual rows of vines from the top vineyards of Coombsville. While not yet an official AVA, this region produces some of Californiais most elegant and complex Cabernet Sauvignons. Isolated and protected, Coombsville offers a moderate Region II climate that is warmer and sunnier than nearby Carneros and cooler than many renowned AVAs to the north. The topography is a rugged mix of hills, benches and mountains and the soils are volcanic, marine and alluvial. The combination of growing conditions creates wines that are lush, structured, and elegant. The individual vineyards selected for Merus are owned by a handful of serious growers who possess extraordinary terroir and a willingness to implement our strict farming and harvesting protocols.
