Markham Vineyards
Napa Valley Zinfandel
Napa Valley, California, USA
Has aged well. Same wine 3.5yr later. Very woodsy- cedar and Forrest floor. Blackberries. Tasty.

Dec 30th, 2023Aromatic. Distinctive. Sage, bourbon-cherry. Coconut and banana (Kim must use a cooper who brings banana out because there’s a couple wines that have this characteristic) Markham Zin is a wine that actually needs a couple years to age. The 2015 is 👌🏼🌈. The 2016 is great now, might need a few more years to come into its own to be sneaky-super-special.

Markham wines hold a special place in my heart. They were the first winery I visited and also the first wine club I was a part of. Great value wines. Surprisingly, I'd never had their Zinfandel. I kind of have an interesting battle with zins...I either absolutely love them or can't appreciate them at all. This one was interesting...I got a ton of black and blue fruits on the nose with a mix of cedar. It tasted jammy, just like I enjoy my zins, but it had a fair bit of spice to it. Wasn't hot, just more of a black pepper finish. Actually went well with the chili we had.
