Maryhill’s upper tier wines begin with the 2006 Cabernet Franc Proprietor’s Reserve (100% varietal) which spent 20 months in 40% new French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it delivers an exceptionally spicy nose of clove, cinnamon, sage, and incense that jumps from the glass. Medium to full-bodied, on the palate it reveals an elegant personality, savory flavors, some underlying structure, and a 40-second finish. Drink this well-made effort from 2011 through 2021. Based on this superb and well-priced portfolio of wines, Maryhill Winery merits serious attention.Tel. (877) 627-9445; www.maryhillwinery.com
