Our Estate Vineyards provide the backbone to this vibrant Napa Valley Merlot. Aromas of ripe raspberry and plum jam emerge from the glass, enhanced by caramel notes from oak aging. A bright entry of red fruit flavors balanced by stunning minerality and notes of rich, velvety chocolate-covered cherries. A "Cab-Lovers" Merlot with structure, mid-palate weight, and a long, round finish.

The 2021 Merlot is the Markham wine consumers are likeliest to encounter, with more than 25,000 cases bottled. It's pretty straightforward but well-made stuff, with scents of black cherries and mint, plus hints of vanilla and cedar. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and easy to drink, but it just lacks that extra bit of concentration and structure to bring it to the next level. On the other hand, it's fairly priced for what it is and where it's from.
