Napa Valley Merlot

This is one of my favorite winery's. Their Merlot is Cabernet like, it actually has a lingering finish. Great notes of cherry and oak.

I am not a big merlot fan but the rating on the Markham lives up to it and it's a great value. Vanilla and fruit. Another few years would show even more flavor.

Modern but well-balanced; unexciting. Taking on a bit of a leathery note with the plush fruit and spicy oak. Velvety tannins. Missing something on the finish.

Best merlot ever. Smooth vanilla from the oak. Not too heavy and not too light. Very nice wine!

Very smooth and drinkable

Yum. Jammy and delicious. Good merlot.

Paired with Mac and cheese

Very very smooth.

Ruby red. Aromas of bing cherry, prune, vanilla and cocoa powder. As it opens up, the nose gets less sticky and more alluring with black table pepper entering the scene. Medium to full bodied and low in acidity with sweet tannins. Again, it's candied at first but becomes wonderfully expressive. There's flavors of cassis, cherries, dark coffee and it finishes with a show of muscle from the tannins and a refreshing mintiness. LET IT BREATH!
