Markham "The Altruist" Napa Valley Red Blend 2023

Jeb Dunnuck : 90 Points

(12/22/2025) "Based on 85% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 4% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, the 2023 Red Blend The Altruist offers red and black fruits, vanilla, cedary herbs, and chocolate in a round, lush, and sexy style. It's upfront and ready to go, with a satisfying, hedonistic character geared for near-term drinking. Drink bottles over the coming 4-6 years. Drink 2025-2031."

James Suckling : 93 Points

(9/16/2025) "Velvety, luxurious, ripe and chocolaty, this full-bodied wine has a relaxed texture, with soft tannins incorporating baked black-fruit flavors and tempting oak spices. Dark plums, blackberry jam and cocoa lend an almost sweet, delicious accessibility. Drink or hold."
