Danny Gordon continues to maintain the high standards of founding winemaker Ron Coleman with this darkly purple beauty from the brand that pays tribute to Walla Walla airport’s historic World War II firehouse. Napa-based Vintage Wine Estates invested wisely in Washington as its two brands in the state produced three of this tasting’s top examples of Merlot. This one comes loaded with blackberry, plum and blueberry, while underpinnings of cedar are easily detected amid the balanced tannins.
