20. Tamarack Cellars 2012 Firehouse Red, Columbia Valley, $18
Owner Ron Coleman has made this affordable blend his flagship wine. It’s a blend of no fewer than a dozen varieties, leading with Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Inviting aromas of ripe plum, blackberry and raspberry jam lead to approachable flavors of rich dark fruit, including Bing cherry and plump blueberry. Dark chocolate notes give this broadly available wine a fond farewell.
