Markham Vineyards 2022 Napa Valley Merlot: A Rich Red Wine for Bold Palates

Sourced from the renowned Napa Valley, Markham Vineyards’ 2022 Merlot offers a luxurious sipping experience tailored for lovers of full-bodied reds. Crafted with grapes from its own estate vineyards—contributing one-third of the blend—this wine combines Napa’s iconic terroir with meticulous oak aging for a flavor profile that bridges Merlot’s elegance and Cabernet’s depth.

The nose opens with inviting aromas of ripe cherry and plum, subtly layered with hints of black tea and toasted oak—a testament to its 14 months in French barrels. On the palate, velvety textures carry forward flavors of dark fruit preserves balanced by spicy oak nuances, creating a harmonious contrast between sweetness and warmth. Its “Cab-Lovers” moniker shines through its robust mid-palate structure and lingering, round finish—a perfect choice for those seeking Merlot’s smoothness without sacrificing complexity or intensity.

Ideal for pairing with hearty dishes like grilled meats or aged cheeses, this 14.5% ABV wine pairs sophistication with approachability. Markham Vineyards’ commitment to quality shines in every bottle, making this a standout addition to any cellar or celebration table.
