Maryhill owners Craig and Vicki Leuthold, who have a soft spot in their hearts for this vineyard established by Norm McKibben, agree with our assessment of this Walla Walla Valley Syrah. Complex aromas of plumeria, tropical fruit punch, graham cracker and green peppercorns transition into intense dark black fruit flavors. There’s some hedonism to the structure of sarsaparilla, black licorice and vanilla bean, along with cherry cordial finish. Qualifying award: Seattle Wine Awards (double gold)
