MARKHAM VINEYARDS CABERNET SAUVIGNON NAPA VALLEY 2019 750ML

“With this bottling, the jammy character of Yountville Ranch Cabernet takes center stage, rounded out by Rockerbox Vineyard’s black currant tones and the beautiful aromatics of Hopper House fruit. Look for aromas of sweet hay, cherry, graphite and baking spices leading to a lush, juicy palate of ripe, round blackberry jam and cherry flavors with chewy tannins on a long finish.” – Kimberlee Nicholls, Winemaker

In 1976, industry pioneer Bruce Markham acquired his first 230 acres of Napa Valley vineyards, and founded Markham Vineyards the following year, with the now local Napa legend, Bryan Del Bondio as the winery’s first employee. In 1980, Markham crafted its first vintage of Napa Valley Merlot, becoming only the fourth winery in Napa Valley to make varietal Merlot, and a decade later, Markham’s flagship bottling was named “Merlot of the Year” by Wine Spectator.
