Loads of chocolate-laced blackberries and spices make up the aromatic and flavor profiles of the 2004 Firehouse Red, a kitchen-sink blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Syrah, 15% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 2% Sangiovese, and 1% Carmenere. This fine value is highly expressive, bursting with flavor, and supple. Drink it over the next 2 years.
