Firehouse Red

2006 Firehouse Red

Tastes like really, really good red wine. Hard to separate all the flavors. Which varietal is lending which notes? Who knows? 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.  Blackberries, currants and dark cherry combine with roasted coffee, melted dark chocoloate, black pepper, soft tannins and a supple lingering finish.

2004 Syrah: Wine & Spirits, February 2008

Wine & Spirits February 2008

This wine is really all about chocolate, especially when first opened. A ripe black raspberry-jam scent emerges from underneath, with candied plum flavors giving buyancy to that cocoa'd base. With time this wine becomes more ample and fresh, both juicy and mouthfilling. A syrah for barbecued ribs.
