The 2008 Cabernet Franc sports an intriguing bouquet of herbs, spices, cassis, and blackberry. Smooth-textured, ripe, and friendly, this easy going effort is an excellent value in Cabernet Franc. Maryhill Winery’s offerings come at two levels, straight varietal cuvees and the Proprietor’s Reserve. There are excellent values at both tiers.Tel. (509) 773-1976; www.maryhillwinery.com

This is light and seems a little sparkly, as if there is a hint of secondary fermentation going on. For Cab Franc it’s light and generic, without the spice or substance of the grape.——P.G.(12/31/2008)—— 82
