Markham Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga Estate Vineyard

Dusty cherry, blackberry and leather. Great texture.

Yeah, a 'high' rating for 'I don't like it'. Here's the deal ... it's a Napa cab, now, should a cab that says 'Napa Valley' on the label taste like a California cab selling for ... let's say $15? Maybe I didn't drink it soon enough ... but maybe, maybe a Napa Valley Cab, even if it's 10 years old, should deliver ... and it didn't. Sorry.

This is a good solid everyday drinkable wine for us. I like this bottle. It's complexity is perfect to drink by itself or with food.

Deep, dark ruby. Inviting aromas of cherries, cedar, oak, and herbs. Has a smooth texture and dusty tannins, but the red and black fruit and spice flavors are not as pronounced as the nose, dropping this down a notch for me. On the plus side it does pick up cocoa and graphite on the medium finish.

Delicious. Deep purple color with slow thin legs. Cherry and a hint of oak on the nose. Smooth, even, gentle, light cherry flavor with a hint of spice on the finish. A soft cab.

Deep purple, currant, blackberry, oak.

Blackberry flavor , smooth, oak on the finish. Excellent wine!!!

Great nose. Very subtle at first, but a couple hours of decanting brings out a very nice array of floral and fruit with good spice on the palate and a nice undertone of oak that is very well integrated at this point. Smooth from start to finish right from the bottle. Doesn't have the layers of complexity of the best from Napa, but will hold it's own. The finish is nice and lasts for 20 seconds or more. I'll get …

Medium to full body. Dark cherry, a little spice, and toasty oak. Long finish with dark fruit.

Good smooth dry finishing up with a very balanced notes

Delicious. Deep purple color with thin legs. Spices, pepper on the nose. Flavors of cherry, cedar, and strawberry jam. Nice, full bodied cab.
