Merus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2015 750 ML

Blended with 11% Petit Verdot, then aged more than two years in 100% new French oak, this is built for power, exhibiting hugely tannic structure and vanilla oak. Black currant, cedar and dried herb dot the palate before a dense richness of chocolate comes to the fore.
