As a pioneer in Napa Valley winemaking and viticulture since 1879, Markham takes great pride in our history of producing wines of exceptional quality. It is our philosophy to allow each of our vineyards to shine, layering flavors that pair naturally with food. We also produce small quantities of other limited release varietals which are available in our Visitor Center and to our Heritage Wine Club members. Chardonnay Our barrel-fermented Chardonnay allows a delicious balance of vanilla and baked apple spice. Juicy tropical fruit and bright lemon offset the rich butter pecan and nutmeg finish. Sauvignon Blanc Our distinctively California Sauvignon Blanc is full of tropical richness. Bold grapefruit flavors give crisp acidity while melon and floral notes bring delicacy. Merlot Dark ruby hues and aromas of fleshy plum mix with flavours of sweet espresso and black raspberry to form our signature Merlot. It s full of ripe, jammy fruit layered with vanilla oak. Cabernet Sauvignon Blackberry jam and currant create a flavorful wine accented with dark chocolate and anise spice. It s barrel-aged for two years to add rich, toasty vanilla oak highlights.
