Wine & Spirits Winery of the Year 2009

Firehouse Red

2008 Firehouse Red

Tastes like really, really good red wine. Which varietal is lending which notes? Who cares? Rounded, lush, layered and lovely, the ultimate food wine, pairing well with everything from pasta and pizza to grilled meat and roasted chicken.  Bright raspberry, currant, mocha, a touch of pepper spice, soft tannins and a lingering finish… year in and year out, it’s like partying with an old friend. 

2007 Merlot

Huckleberry, black currant and cherry pipe tobacco entice the nose while flavors of chocolate, raspberry, black cherry and bright acidity coat your tongue.  This wine is heavily Red Mountain influenced – a great Merlot for Cab lovers.

2006 Cabernet Sauvignon

Powerful and full bodied with ripe and rich aromas and flavors of cola, dark cherry and cinnamon raisin bread intertwined with blackberry, chocolate mints and spicy notes of French oak. Of all the Tamarack reds, this shows the most length, complexity and balance.  

Chardonnay Label

2008 Chardonnay

Very tropical bouquet with candied pineapple and a creamy, soft finish of subtle French oak.

2006 DuBrul Vineyard Reserve

Wonderful aromas of red cherry, floral notes and ripe berry open into a fragrant and balanced palate of rich dark cherries, sweet chocolate and luscious tannin.  Not about power - rather about elegance, complexity and length.  SOLD OUT

2007 Sangiovese

Mouthwatering aromas of dazzling raspberry with hints of spring lilacs, lead to a concentration of orange zest brightness, juicy blueberry puree, and silky tannins for an extensive finish.  SOLD OUT

 

    

2007 Cabernet Franc

Elegant with spiced cherry, blackberry and boysenberry mingling pleasingly and lingering seductively with a hint of oak, smooth chocolate and mocha on the structured tannins and fine-grained finish.   SOLD OUT

Syrah Label

2006 Ciel du Cheval Syrah

Jammy scents of blueberry, blackberry and huckleberry waft from the glass.  A fleshy core of black cherry and dark currant with warm mocha, a hint of black pepper and earthy tannins round out this powerhouse.

2005 Sagemoor Vineyard Reserve

Sagemoor Vineyard is an esteemed site of old vine vineyards overlooking the beautiful Columbia River. Sagemoor is considered the parent vineyard to some of the most respected and desired vineyards in all of Washington State. SOLD OUT

2006 DuBrul Vineyard Reserve: Wine Enthusiast

The flavors though tight and reserved, are substantial and lightly earthy, and the tannins sculpted and refined.  Well defined and polished, the tight, tart fruit is enhanced with hints of mushroom and earth, leading into a pleasing toasty finish.
