2010 Markham Cellar 1879 Napa Valley Red Blend 750ml

Quick Overview

The vineyards and varietals will change each vintage, as it is the Markham goal to provide the perfect accompaniment to any meal with lush tannins, juicy fruit and a silky, long finish. In 2010 (65% Merlot, 29% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot, and 3% Petite Sirah) the Markham Vineyards Merlot provided velvety texture with distinct chocolate notes. The Cabernet Sauvignon provided the deep, smokey notes that weave throughout. The Petit Verdot is all about structure, while the Petite Sirah adds blackberry jam and floral spice you can't help but love!
