Markham 2017 Merlot Napa Valley, California
The 2017 Markham Merlot is a true Napa Valley blend of vineyards! Their estate vineyards provide the backbone for the blend, totaling almost 60% of this bottling. Merlot from the Oak Knoll District gives sour cherry character, while the Yountville components provide the classic Bing cherry aromas and flavors for which their Merlot is known. The jammy notes come from blending in warmer up-valley fruit. The fruit has matured in flavor and color evenly, leaving any vegetal hints behind. The wines are sent to barrels as individual lots to mature, allowing for a greater understanding of the direct impact of viticultural and fermentation practices on each vintage. The resulting wine is delicious, lush, and complex.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive wine.
