For my money, this is the most authentic wine that Maryhill makes. It has not been softened, oaked, sweetened and vanilla’d up—it just shows the great fruit and the verticality of nicely ripened grapes. Composed of 40% Merlot, 32% Cabernet, 22% Syrah, 6% Cab Franc and 13.9% alcohol.——P.G.(8/1/2007)—— 88
