Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2005

Merus's 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (900 cases) exhibits a dense purple color along with a rich, fragrant nose of blackberries, toasty oak, cassis, and licorice. With superb density as well as purity, a lovely mouthfeel, and a long, rich, full-bodied, tannic finish, it is an impressively built, nicely layered, potentially complex Cabernet that should be at its finest between 2008-2020.

Stephen Tanzer's IWC, May 2005

...Deep, bright, saturated ruby. Very ripe but fresh aromas of blackberry, violet, licorice, dark chocolate and smoked meat. Densely packed but juicy and delineated, with very ripe black fruit flavors framed and lifted by fresh acidity. Finishes juice and very long, with explosive dark fruit flavors and noble tannins. This has uncommon vivacity for a California cabernet with this much richness and depth...

Wine Spectator, June 2005

...Dark, rich and immense, with layers of thick, plush currant, black cherry and blackberry fruit that's tightly wound and sharply focused. Given its size and density, this is remarkably elegant and deftly balanced. The best Merus to date...865 cases made. ..
