2016 is 83% Zin & 17% Petite Sirah. More Zin than 2015. Again, if you miss the old Prisoner this is the wine for you. — 6 years ago

I might be biased, but David Phinney/Orin Swift can do no wrong. ...Ok, I’m definitely biased, but still... Subdued aroma of roasted raspberry, blackberry, and dried tobacco. Lush & velvety on the palate. The alcohol hides well. Medium-plus acidity. Nice tannic structure that plays throughout the middle and grips at the end. Notes of luxardo cherry, plum, dark cocoa, raspberry, currant, & barberry. Cigar box underneath the fruit. Sharp, woody finish. Not as in-your-face as Prisoner, but a lovely sipper. — 7 years ago

Nice peppery, cranberry, oak start, with well rounded smooth finish. Great alternative and perhaps a bit better than Prisoner for less $$$. — 9 years ago

Bold red color, ruby at the edges fade to dark deep red in the middle of the glass. Earthy off the nose. Big taste, super smooth finish and extremely drinkable. Drink now, or 10 years from now, this is great! — 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. — 9 years ago

Petite Sirah , Syrah , Zinfandel blend 2014 a very good year. Also 91 rating in RP Wine Advocate.. Tried at DAOU dinner at Chophouse with Monday Night Wine Group. Pretty impressive. Reminds me of The Prisoner at half the price. — 11 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? — 11 years ago

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. — 9 years ago
