2008 Maryhill Cabernet Franc Columbia Valley
Cellar orphan, didn't even realize I had it. Bought two cases for half price ($10/bottle) many years ago and thought we'd given it all away. So, faced with this, opened it just to get it out of our hair, fully expected to pour it on the rhododendrons--but wow, it was real wine with great thorny berry and herb varietal character and foresty secondary nuances. We've had a lot of expensive 2008's that didn't make the last 12 years, let alone show up like this one did. A delight.
My wine shopping and I have never had a problem. Just a perpetual race between the bankruptcy court and Hell.--Rogov
