Saldo Red Blend

Full body with a lovely taste of berries! Good wine to cuddle up with a book or movie, and great to share with a friend. It’s a good “vibing” wine. — 4 months ago

Forgot to mention the bite at the beginning, but once it aerated a bit, it smoothed out.

Napa Valley Zinfandel Blend

Silky tannins and a great mouthfeel with a good hit of astringency that doesn’t overwhelm. Delicious notes of black cherry and lightly fresh pepper on the palette. Smells of fresh ripe red and black fruit — 4 months ago

The Crane Assembly

G. B. Crane Vineyard el Coco Red Blend 2020

Really original wine, reminds me of the first time I tasted The Prisoner years and years ago, the original Zinfandel version that is. This is a Petit Syrah, Merlot, Cab blend with concentrated flavors and deep complexity… Need time to open and achieve balance. Cheers. — 5 months ago

Broken Record Sparkling White Blend

It is close to the Prisoner but not 100%
Slightly less spicy but a very smooth and clean finish.

8 Years in the Desert Zinfandel Blend

This is Dave Phinney’s first Zinfandel-based wine since the noncompete associated with his sale of the Prisoner expired; hence the name. Popped and poured. Bold red and dark fruits with a significant amount of anise and black pepper. Medium tannins and a decent amount of acid to give the large amount of fruit some lift. A touch hot...the alcohol showing more as time went on. A fun wine to try and better than I expected but I can already feel palate fatigue setting in. Thanks Neal! — 6 years ago

Thorn By The Prisoner Winery

Napa Valley Merlot Blend 2016

Dark purple with color to the rim. Big nose of plum and elderberry compote in an oak bowl. Echoed on the full-bodied palate supported by juicy medium acidity and non-threatening medium minus tannins. Surprisingly smooth despite the 15.2% alcohol. Probably the best thing Prisoner Wine Company makes. A burly California style Merlot with enough finesse for fine meals but still sippable (over time… again 15.2% 😏) enough for casual wine and cheese evenings. Drink now through 2028, but don't expect much development. — 4 months ago
