Markham Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 Review
In a world dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, Markham has been making wine from Merlot since 1980. It was actually only the fourth winery in the valley to do so. They seem to take the Merlot approach to Cab as well. This is a wonderful, easy, plush wine with a soft nose of blackberries, earth, and a hint of oak. The mouthfeel is lifted with soft tannins and medium fruit.
