Markham Vineyards Napa Valley Merlot 2016 Review

The alcohol is way too high and the oak is slathered on, but dammit I like this wine. It’s the kind of crowd-pleasing wine you bring to a family event that everyone will enjoy and can pair with a wide range of dishes. If you are looking for the soft subtly of this grape, you won’t find it here, but if you're looking to appease a broad range of palate preferences this wine will be a winner.
