The winery is located in a restored WW II fire station and barracks at the Walla Walla Airport Complex.

Production began in 1998 and is currently up to 11,000 cases for the 2006 vintage. Wines made are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, DuBrul Vineyard Reserve, Syrah, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese, and Firehouse Red.

Ron Coleman serves as winemaker and general manager. He comes to the job after a long career in the wine industry with experience in wholesale and retail sales, as a sommelier, and through cellar work for Waterbrook and Canoe Ridge wineries. 

2006 Firehouse Red: Wine & Spirits

Always a juicy, jammy, generous wine, this year's Firehouse has an extra dollop of smoky oak to go with it's ripe black cherry and plum flavors.

2004 Du Brul Vineyard Reserve: Wine Advocate

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Thick and dense on the palate, with gobs of flavor, this full bodied effort demands 6-8 years of cellaring and should drink well through 2040.

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon: Wine & Spirits

As inky as black coffee when first poured, it has the richness of chocolate cake with a vivid red berry core that gives the wine its energy. For short ribs braised in red wine.
