Caravan Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Deep scarlet violet glass with translucent scarlet rim. Medium nose of blackberry jam, clove, eucalyptus against a subtle background of dry tobacco and leather. Medium full bodied tart acid hit to the palate of dark fruits, pepper and cocoa. Finishes long with big soft chalky tannins. Well balanced wine with good structure. At $37.99 USD, a little dear but still good for the occasional splurge or accompaniment to your rich dish. — 11 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

The Prisoner Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Decided now would be a good time to try out out the 2013 Prisoner. While not as good as the 2011 the structure is different, showing a ton of black pepper and balsamic on the nose with a little bit of violet flowers, and a very lovely, elegant finish. Big bold red and black fruits give way to a lush, black peppery back end. The finish is shorter than expected but still nice. This is still a good wine, just not as good as previous vintages. — 12 years ago

Lot of fruit, little lighter in body, good flavor and color and probably lot of cab in it. — 13 years ago

The Prisoner Wine Company

Cuttings California Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2012

TPW Co is doing great things and has rapidly become a favorite of mine. Looks can be deceiving. This dark inky blend is NOT Big or Bold. Soft and fruity with a little tobacco. Great raspberry/velvet finish. — 11 years ago
