Tart cherry/berries. Smooth and fruit forward start with a slightly dry finish. Hard to not finish the bottle alone. Perfect for a warm summer night. — 5 years ago

I loved this bottle so much for the price that I did some research. It appears that Trader Joe's arranged for production of this wine, which was allegedly designed to be a copy cat of Orwin Swift's Prisoner. I must pick up more the next time I'm at TJ. — 8 years ago

Nice peppery, cranberry, oak start, with well rounded smooth finish. Great alternative and perhaps a bit better than Prisoner for less $$$. — 8 years ago

2016 is 83% Zin & 17% Petite Sirah. More Zin than 2015. Again, if you miss the old Prisoner this is the wine for you. — 5 years ago

Not sure it deserves the 95 points Parker bestowed on it, but a good Prisoner style blend nonetheless! — 8 years ago

Ryan Vento

8.9

A very rich and dense Napa County red wine that resembles many common labels like The Prisoner, or perhaps some of Orin Swift's current selections. Blackberries, blueberries, plums, and loads of baking spices. Not entirely complex but still delicious, nonetheless. — 8 years ago

Re runs of Baywatch. Hot dogs. Slip n Slides. Aint nothing wrong with celebrating and proudly admiring the gratuitous and guilty pleasures in life. This stuff is great! After all.....no reason to be a "prisoner" to over priced gunk. Nor regard something as a "special selection" when its mass produced to the tune of 45000 cases. Less than 15k made of this bad boy! And did I mention.... A glow in the dark label!? Genius! Mustache rides anyone? — 10 years ago
