Markham Vineyards 'The Altruist' Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Review
This wine is rich and grippy, but with excellent balance. The acidity is just right, lifting the weight slightly on the palate. It smells like just-crushed blackberries, fresh soil, and a hint of wood smoke. It’s a bottle to bring to the parents for a holiday meal, or a great weeknight steak wine.
