Cellar 1879 Blend Magnum

Napa Valley
$94.40 CLUB

A Magnum of Cellar 1879 Blend
Equivalent to 2 bottles | 10 glasses

Our 2014 blend starts with toffee, coffee and milk chocolate punctuated with black pepper and tobacco. Ripe berry flavors reminisce of summer afternoons spent picking wild fruit in hopes of delicious treats to come. Rich and lush, the tannins hold power but turn velvety with a bit of black pepper on the finish.

Harvest Notes

  • The 2014 vintage in Napa Valley celebrated a near-perfect growing season despite less than receiving less than half the normal rainfall.
  • Late spring rains were well-timed, arriving after budbreak, allowing for even flowering, fruit set and helped power the vines throughout the season.
  • However the third year of continued drought had yields on our red grapes difficult to estimate accurately.
  • The exciting news is the beauty of this wine reflects the pride we feel heralding a new vintage of wines here at Markham Vineyards.
