2005 Firehouse Red
Dark ruby colored with a nose bordering on exotic, the wine offers ripe, sweet fruit, complex flavors, and a stylish elegance, all at a very nice price.

2005 Firehouse Red
One of our perennial favorite blends, among the best bang-for-the-buck reds from Washington State. Mostly cabernet, syrah, and merlot with several other varieties for good measure, it's all blackberry, smoke and full-on meaty black plum flavors. Ideal for a late season barbecue.

Outstanding!

Outstandlng! This Is the rich, complex wine that first put Ron Coleman on the map and on many restaurant wine lists because of the value. A medley of berry flavors awaits with dark chocolate syrup poised to enter the mid palate.

First, there's well-managed oak, blueberry a hint of mint and fresh cherry pipe tobacco. The influence of Syrah is evident, too, on the tongue in a berry milkshake. Impressive tannins merely escort the cherries and chocolate to the finish.

2004 Firehouse Red
This fine value is highly expressive, bursting with flavor, and supple. Drink it over the next 2 years.
