Description
The 2017 Markham Vineyard’s sustainably made, The Altruist, is a “right bank” Bordeaux-style red blend that allows the velvety Merlot flavors to shine. With a varietal composition of 68% Merlot, 16% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Malbec, and 5% Cabernet Franc. Predominately estate-grown, the 40th vintage saw perfect harvest weather and incredible quality. Crafted by Markham Winemaker Kimberley Nicholls, “The Altruist” label features the Markham Cannoneer. As a US Navy veteran, founder Bruce Markham depicted a cannoneer from a treasured bronze sculpture on his first Markham Vineyards label in 1978. It is a symbol that stands for the people, land, and values that make up Markham’s past and present.
NOTE: This is NOT a Firstleaf Exclusive wine.
