2018 Merus Cabernet Sauvignon, Coombsville Napa Valley french white And the tannins are fineThe 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. Blend: 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot 94PTS WINE SPECTATOR
