 Markham
Vineyards - Bruce Markham arrived in the Napa Valley
almost 100 years after Laurent, also looking to start a winery.
Markham bought the Yountville vineyard in 1975, the Calistoga vineyard
in 1976, the old Laurent Winery in 1977 and the Oak Knoll vineyard
in 1978. With almost 225 planted acres and a winery, Bruce Markham
founded Markham Vineyards in 1978 and the old Laurent Winery was
reborn. Markham focused on Cabernet Sauvignon in its early days
and introduced the Markham Merlot with the 1980 vintage. Between
1978 to 1988 the winery's production increased from 3,500 cases
to 20,000 The wine quality and praise from wine critics and consumers
increased as well.
