As is most often the case with Sangiovese, this comes across as a pleasant, rather generic red wine that could be almost anything. The fruit tastes of light cherry and plum, with a rather sour finish. Tannins are earthy and there is a hint of sweaty saddle as well. ——P.G.(12/1/2008)—— 83

Maryhill’s Proprietor’s Reserve bottling features heavy barrel toast and more extraction than the regular Sangiovese. It is very soft, very approachable, smooth and sweet, with a finish that tastes of strawberries and cream. Definitely a consumer-pleasing style.——P.G.(8/1/2007)—— 86

Aging in new French oak (hence the reserve label) has been handled well, and the tart, sour cherry Sangiovese flavors seem to float on a chassis of light, toasty spice. Hints of pipe tobacco and tea should develop further with time; only the hot finish keeps it from meriting a higher score. ——P.G.(9/1/2004)—— 87
