Nice and lush with strong balance of black fruits and undertones of vanilla/oak. It's a baby and enjoyable now but I bet will be much better in a few years. — 10 years ago

Stunning! Fresh cut violets! Gorgeous perfume of rose petal, potpourri, lush fruit and super decadent, sexy perfume on the finish. — 11 years ago

A powerful blend of Grenache, Petite Syrah and Syrah from Orin Swift. Deep nose of dark fruit and chocolate. A full bodied wine that lingers on the palate as the lush fruit , tobacco and cocoa comes across with an exclamation point. We are drinking this in lieu of dessert. — 10 years ago

Simply magnificent. Complex, an absolute powerhouse, but without being a bully. The stages flow seamlessly together, initial bright fruit, quickly reinforced with earth, vanilla, and beautiful, lush tannins. The finish lingers forever. One of the most composed wines I've ever had. An easy 10. — 10 years ago

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. — 11 years ago
