Altvs is a project begun with the 2005 vintage at Merus winery in the Napa Valley. The idea: to produce hand crafted, small lot Cabernet Sauvignon based wines that celebrate the hedonistic qualities of lushness, density and ripeness while remaining true to the intensity and power of modern day Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. In a very short time since its initial release, Altvs has captured the imagination of an international audience, garnering critical acclaim through the world of fine wine. 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. Severe pruning, cluster sorting, small-lot fermentations and careful lot selection combine to create a wine that is dense, concentrated and nuanced.
