Markham Vineyards
Napa Valley Merlot
2005
This wine is deep purple, offering a nose of chocolate and earth. It's fulsome and not too tannic—just what we'd expect from Merlot—with lingering cherry and bramble fruits. A phenomenal mate for tonight's Hardwick steak (rare).
Price: $19 (sale; regular price about $23)
Drinks like: $23
Bang for the buck: 100%

We used to keep that one around for every day, but have had trouble finding it around here lately!

Shani, glad you like it, too! We're lucky here in NH to be able to get it quite readily. Who knows what next year will bring, but for now, we're safe :-)
