Markham Merlot 2018

This has been Mrs. Bacchanalians favorite wine since before we meet (more than 20 years ago), so I am amazed that this is the first review of Markham Merlot that I have made. I could never count the number of times that we have had a merlot from this producer. For the Mrs. they are always stellar…for me some vintages are far better than others, however there is a reliability from this producer that I do respect. This particular vintage is very good. The wine pours a dark purple color. Aromas of cherry and raspberry with some vanilla thrown in. Somewhat floral. The tannins are mild and soft. The mouth feel is silky with flavors of black raspberry, tobacco and ripe plum. This is an excellent merlot at this price point. I do not think anyone will be disappointed with this wine.

Rating 9.1
