The story

The story behind Markham

The stone cellar on Napa's Highway 29 was built in 1874 by Bordeaux immigrant Jean Laurent. Bruce Markham bought the property in 1977 and put his name on it. Head Winemaker Kimberlee Nicholls leads the team today, and the Sauvignon Blanc comes from the estate's Little Cannon Vineyard in the cool Oak Knoll District, balanced with fruit from warmer St. Helena and Calistoga.

Fermentation runs cold in stainless steel, 100 percent or close to it depending on vintage, and the wine stays in tank through aging. No oak, no vanilla, no cover-up. Grapefruit, lime zest, green apple and a wet-stone finish. We have poured this for years because it does not need an explanation.
