The Prisoner Napa Valley Red Blend 2021

"This dense, full-bodied, opulent red reveals gutsy, rich, peppery, meaty, blackberry, blackcurrant and licorice notes. A savory, lusty, heady red, it begs for a grilled steak or a big, juicy hamburger. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. This brand was first created by Orin Swift, but is now run by winemaker Jen Beloz and David Phinney. The wines impressive labels reflect the innovative and creative nature of this wine company." 92 pts WA

Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauv., Petite Sirah, Syrah, Grenache and Charbono.

"Aromas of briar fruits and dried cherry are accented by hints of vanilla and toasted oak. On the palate, tiers of blueberry, ripe mulberry and boysenberry give way to an edge of espresso, cracked pepper and a seasoning of fall spice. These dense aromas and flavors culinate in a lingering finish framed by refined tannins." ~ Prisoner Wine Co.
