Markham Merlot 1998
Napa Valley, California, United StatesWinemaker Michael Beaulac blends 79 percent merlot, with 17 percent cabernet sauvignon and four percent cabernet franc for 15 months in French and American oak barrels. Lovely, light spicy fruit, with raspberry and plum overtones. It's not the biggest merlot in the valley but there's quality here, and it's fun to drink.Tasted: 01 March 2001Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $33.95 | 750ml |
