Markham Vineyards District Series Merlot from the Yountville District in Napa Valley, California. This estate Merlot is deep ruby in color with signature aromas of milk chocolate, blackberry jam, toffee, vanilla, and violets. The palate features ripe red fruit character with plum, currant, and raspberry notes complemented by barrel spices of cardamom, vanilla, and tobacco leaf. The Yountville District terroir contributes distinctly chalky tannins that aid in the wine's age-ability. The grapes are sourced from Markham's Yountville Ranch, situated along the southern edge of the Rutherford Bench, an area known as the beating heart of Napa Valley and renowned for exceptional Bordeaux varietals. 15% alcohol by volume. Contains sulfites. 750ML bottle.
