| Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nThis wine offers an authentic expression of cooler-climate Sauvignon Blanc. Its bright natural This wine offers an authentic expression of cooler-climate Sauvignon Blanc. Its bright natural acidity is juicy and thirst-quenching, while complex aromatics and lifted flavors of grapefruit and citrusy lime are accented beautifully by wet stone minerality. Aromas of fresh lime, ripe gooseberries, citrus peel and orchid blossom. Bright and tangy palate with a medium body and vivid acidity. Attractive crunchiness and some creaminess in the middle. Flavorful finish. The elegant, textured mouthfeel leads to a clean, crisp finish.\r\nVINEYARD NOTES\r\n\u2022 Fruit comes primarily from the Oak Knoll District at the southern end of the Napa Valley.\r\n\u2022 Proximity to the San Pablo Bay brings cooling fog to this region \u2013 ideal for maintaining natural acidity which lends to the bright and refreshing character.\r\n\u2022 Fermented solely in stainless steel to preserve authentic aromatics, minerality and citrus fruit flavors.\r\n\u2022 Brix at Harvest: 22\u00b0\r\nJames Suckling 90 Points\r\nAbout Markham Vineyards\r\nOUR Founder - Jean Laurent leaves the Bordeaux region of France in 1852 to join the Gold Rush in California, a journey that leads him to establish one of the first wineries in Napa Valley. His Bordeaux upbringing molded him into a viticulture and winemaking purist, and he quickly discovers that the Napa soils are a natural home for the grapevine. Jean founds the winery in 1874 and \u2014 after finding success with his wines \u2014 builds the stone cellar in 1879 that remains the heart of Markham Vineyards today.\r\nOUR Namesake - Bruce Markham is an Arizona businessman who finds himself with a pocketful of money in the late 1970s. He invests in 230 acres of vineyards across the Napa Valley, a craftsman-style bungalow home and Jean Laurent\u2019s old stone cellar winery along Highway 29. Around the same time, the Napa Valley is gaining visibility in the wine world after a wine competition in Paris \u2014 now famously known as \u201cThe Judgment of Paris\u201d \u2014 puts Napa Valley Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon on the map.\r\nBruce served in the Us Navy and had a miniature cannon. The story goes that he would mark the start of each harvest by firing his cannon in the vineyards.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nWe are Sustainably Certified\r\nOur sustainability practices replenish the vineyards\u2019 natural resources, improve air and water quality, and protect the land\u2019s ecosystems and wildlife habitats.
