Markovic Estates Reds Other
French reds with a soft touch, priced for the table.
The story behind Markovic Estates
Markovic Estates traces its winemaking line to 1815 in Serbia, then to vineyards in Béziers, France in 1949. Ivan and Nadia Markovic launched the modern brand in the U.S. in 2000. The grapes come from Languedoc-Roussillon in southern France, much of it under Vin de France and Pays d'Oc IGP.
What sets these reds apart is residual sugar. Where most French reds are bone dry, Markovic Estates leaves a little sweetness in the Cabernet, Merlot and Malbec, so tannins read soft and fruit reads forward. You get Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec, Pinot Noir and Cinsault in the mix. We have poured them for years to customers who want red without the grip.

The Markovic Estates Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Pinot Noir all sit at $9.99 for 750mL, and the 1.5L versions of Cabernet, Merlot, Malbec and Pinot Noir are $13.99. That is roughly four glasses more per bottle on the large format. Sweet reds run 11% to 12.5% ABV, the single varietals about 13%. Nothing here asks you to spend like a cellar wine, and nothing tastes like a compromise at this price.

$13.99 large format pours for a table without a second trip to the store.
Semi-dry with dark fruit and mild tannin, a bridge from sweet to dry.
Markovic Estates cocktails and pairings
Chill these reds to about 60 to 65°F before pouring. The touch of sugar tames chili heat and sweet glazes.
