The story behind Merus
Napa Valley Cabernet is the benchmark for California red: ripe dark fruit, firm structure, and the kind of weight that rewards a little patience in the glass. Merus is a small Napa producer, and we carry just a bottle or two of each release, so what you see here is what we have.
These are older vintages from our Commack shelves, Merus Altus 05 and Merus Cabernet Sauvignon 06. We stock them in very limited quantity, so call ahead if you want to confirm a bottle is still on hand.

The Merus Altus 05 is $89.98 and the Merus Cabernet Sauvignon 06 is $199.99. Both are single or near single bottle stocks here, so availability can change quickly. Call the shop at (631) 343-7200 to confirm before you make the trip to Commack.
