While this historic vineyard on Red Mountain might be best known for Cab, Maryhill has won more Platinums for Syrah — 13 — than with any other grape. Here’s a bottle loaded with dark black fruit, an enticing blend of allspice and nutmeg, a suave midpalate of creme brûlée and brown rice, and age-worthy English Breakfast tea tannins.
