Our first Merlot was released in 1980, and this famously food-friendly Bordeaux native has played a starring role in the Markham Cellar ever since. Merlot shines in Napa Valley, and for four decades, our sustainably farmed estate vineyards have been among the most coveted Merlot plantings in the region.

Take a journey with us to discover why Merlot is fruit-forward and opulent like Cabernet Sauvignon, while offering remarkably plush tannins and a signature elegance on the palate. You’ll taste through Estate wines and single-vineyard offerings, culminating in our Right-Bank Bordeaux-inspired blend: The Character. Do not miss this deep dive into one of Napa Valley’s finest wines. It will make you a Merlot fan for life.
